Wanderstop is an upcoming narrative-driven adventure game developed by Ivy Road and published by Annapurna Interactive, set for release on March 11, 2025. Players assume the role of Alta, a once-great fighter managing a tea shop in a magical forest, who struggles with her new life and the expectations it brings. As Alta, players will grow and harvest tea ingredients, craft unique blends, and engage with various travelers to learn their stories and share a moment over tea.
The game’s mechanics blend tea shop management with personal reflection, allowing players to decorate the shop, tidy up the space, and contemplate life. Despite the peaceful ambiance, Alta battles against her reluctant role as a shopkeeper, asserting that she is meant for greater challenges beyond managing a tea shop.
Wanderstop showcases the talent of a notable development team, including creators behind acclaimed titles like The Stanley Parable and Gone Home. To enjoy the game once released, interested players are encouraged to support developers by purchasing it directly. The game requires sufficient hardware, with specifications provided for optimal performance.
