After a little wait and a plenty of cozy development, Tiny Roar invites you to play the Wanderful demo at Steam Next Fest. In this remarkable, infinitely replayable builder-explorer, you discover a procedurally generated world of different biomes and residents while placing and combining buildings and other structures on your way. No two playthroughs are the same in this wacky, wondrous but always charming world. Tiny Roar is eager to see what the Steam Next Fest players create and what journeys they will embark on when the free demo is available later this month. 

There is still more to the story, as developers Tiny Roar share development details on how this calming explorer-builder with cozy vibes was brought to life. While being interviewed  by Twitch streamer CozyGamerKat, Wanderful’s creative lead Jonas and producer Maurice share insights on the vision and development of the game and reveal never-seen-before prototypes that served as a basis for the final version.

A Wanderful playthrough is like a storybook that is written as you play. First, start off at a small encampment with your eager explorer ready to start their journey, forgotten in time - a lush forest here, a sparkling lake there - you wander into the unknown and start creating your world, piece by piece. Expand your journey and set a high-score by gathering ember flames for your lantern  while cleverly combining buildings and tiles. Your playthrough ends when you run out of ember. However, the end of a journey is just a new beginning for another loop, another seed, another unique tale.

It’s the perfect game to wind down with while traveling  at your own pace: play strategically, creatively, or race through the game to beat your own high scores. Thanks to the many biomes, tiles and wonders, no two sessions will be the same. The game may seem sweet and chock-full of pastel cheer, but there is a surprising range of emotions, from zany to melancholic, just waiting to be discovered.

Expect to see Wanderful Early Access launch sometime in 2023, with plans to launch on other platforms down the road. Don’t let your dreams just be dreams, make your Wishlists come true on Steam, or follow along on Twitter and Facebook.
