About Wanderbound
Lace Up Your Boots and Take to the Trail
Adventure called, and you answered! In your excitement, you arrive at the trailhead with no supplies beyond your backpack. Fortunately, with some perseverance and a bit of luck, you’ll be able to find everything you need along the way.
Discover the World Off Trail
As you wander alongside calm streams, shady forests, and peaceful meadows, you generate your world. No two walks are the same and each playthrough is unique. Will you discover a forgotten castle, weave through a slot canyon, or spot a rare bird? The only way to know what’s out there is to go and see it for yourself. Just keep an eye on your energy, so your hike doesn’t end before the trail does.
Wander Your Way
Where you explore and how you spend your time is up to you. Will you specialize in one area or become a jack-of-all-trades? Will you speed to the trail end or discover all the secrets the land offers? The choice is yours.
- Rest at a campsite, searching for constellations as you roast a marshmallow over the fire.
- Cast your line for fish to fuel your hike or dive into the water yourself.
- Create paintings, sketches, and sculptures inspired by the nature you see.
- Forage for fresh berries and herbs to eat as they change through the seasons.
- Spot shapes in the clouds and patterns in the falling leaves.
- Climb to the mountain peaks and treetops to get a greater view of the wonders around you.
