Não conhecido fatos sobre Wanderstop Gameplay

The creator of upcoming life sim Inzoi says he was "recklessly brave to even think about creating a game of this scale"

It’s a game that made me pause. That made me confront things about myself I hadn’t fully put into words. That made me feel—deeply, achingly, unexpectedly.

If you already think you might enjoy a game like this without more convincing, just go play it knowing that I give Wanderstop an enthusiastic recommendation. Then you can come back here later to say, “Wow, thank you so much Ms. IGN reviewer, this game has left me feeling strangely hallowed out and yet so full at the same time.”

But even with that small complaint, Wanderstop remains one of the most beautifully crafted, emotionally resonant games I’ve ever played.

The closest we get to reexamining our lives in most cozy games is moving away from the city for a taste of rural life. In Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, or Stardew Valley, your character throws in the towel at their fast-paced corpo job and immediately adjusts to being a laid-back landworker with absolutely zero ego.

But the lack of full voice acting for other characters feels like a missed opportunity. Boro, in particular, would have benefitted from voice work, his presence is already powerful, but hearing his words spoken aloud could have amplified their impact. Later on in the game, an emotionally charged moment begs for a moving, climactic musical piece, yet it plays out in silence. That single misstep aside, Wanderstop delivers an audio experience that is cozy, contemplative, and effective.

When going to therapy (or indeed starting any hobby or self-improvement pursuit) you'll often be told "you get out of this what you put in". The same is true of Wanderstop. The game offers a varied and largely self-guided experience, but it asks you to engage in its journey with an open heart.

In some ways, Wanderstop reminds me of the tear-jerking Spiritfarer, as it’s very much a story-first game. When new visitors wander into the tea shop’s forest clearing, you first need to get to know them before they’ll give you a tea request, and then you must use the information you’ve gathered to brew the correct cup for them.

As you tidy the leaves and weeds, you do have a small chance of finding something hidden underneath the clutter. Dozens of little trinkets can be uncovered while you clean, including colorful new tea mugs, teddy bears, and even lost packages. The catch, however, is that you can’t keep these trinkets as the roughly 15-hour campaign progresses, and the story directly addresses why in a clever way.

That’s not a bad thing, though, as pushing you out of your comfort zone is very much the idea. By the end of my playthrough, I didn’t want to leave.

It's not stuffy, either, or singularly shooting for emotional high-notes. Wanderstop has incredibly funny dialogue and a truly bizarre cast of characters with strangely high expectations of what a cup of tea might do for them.
