I really really think more people should play Wanderstop... It's one of my favorite games of this year... And it's got C418 music

Alta and Zenith from Wanderstop. Zenith is floating in the air with a multicolored light behind them. Alta's sword rests on the ground, surrounded by 3 tea mugs.

Wanderstop may have fixed me a little bit. And what else are games for if not that?

@ivyroadgames.bsky.social knocked it out of the park with Wanderstop and it quickly became one of our favorites of this year and all years.

Our full nominee video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Nw...
A grumpy warrior in an apron eyes an ominous blade. Next to her, on a bench, a jolly bald man sips a piping hot cup of tea and holds a letter. Strange flapping penguin-like creatures fly around them in front of a tea shop. The game's name, Wanderstop, floats above the scene. A badge sits in the bottom right signifying that this game is a VGG 2025 Game of the Year nominee.

Finally had time to game for a little bit without worrying about work and decided to finally give #Wonderstop a go.

TL:DR - instantly fell in love with Boro and his energy

OUTSTANDING VISUAL STYLE:
Wanderstop is a game about finding yourself and finding out what it means to have a place in the world. As you in the role of Alta tend to the little tea shop, the clearing it resides in changes to reflect her journey of recovery, as well as revealing her dark past.
Outstanding Visual Style: "Wanderstop"

A screenshot of Wanderstop's Steam page. At the top is a Sword Celebration Banner, indicating Wanderstop's participation in the event. The left section of the page is paused on the trailer at the moment Alta is preparing to throw an item into the tea machine. The right section of the page has the capsule image, the steam short description, and quick stats like the review reception, dev and publisher names, release date, and popular tags.

The Sword Celebration has officially begun, and Wanderstop is taking part!

Alta's sword is central to her emotional journey during Wanderstop. Will she be able to wield it again? Pick it up, and play to find out (on sale for 20% off until September 6th)! ⚔🍵

A graphic to showcase Wanderstop's participation in the Sword Celebration on Steam. The top center text says: September 1st - 8th 10am Pacific. Sword Celebration. The outer portion of the template (and background image) is of a illustrated giant sword in the ground, with other smaller swords also in the ground off into the distance. There are two mountains on the horizon, and the sun looks like it's setting directly behind the main sword. A rectangle overlay on the background image provides a section for the Wanderstop main capsule, which shows the Wanderstop logo and an image of Alta and Boro sitting on a bench in front of the titular tea shop. Alta's sword is stuck in the foreground of the image.

Cedre did an incredible job with Wanderstop — if you have a project that needs UI, definitely reach out to them!
cedre.bsky.social Cedre 🍃 @cedre.bsky.social · Aug 1
One of my favorite part of creating UI is always about making icons. First is from Wanderstop, then Desta: The memories between. Next ones are from apps projects. #UI #Icons
Black and white icons made for Wanderstop. Icons for the game Desta, it is about a bunch of different actions the player can use to fight. Icons of different objects and animals. Icons of albums and pictures, a cup of tea, an eye.

Do you remember when games had jingles when you hit the start button? Like, in Silent Hill, or how the resident evil man says RESIDENT EEVIIIL?

We stopped doing it and I hate that this tradition is gone. I miss it so much, I put it in Wanderstop, a game I worked on.

Colors of Wanderstop 🎨
A screenshot from the game, Wanderstop. Alta is standing in a grassy clearing in front of a small pond. The trees in the distance are a soft pink, and there's a small bridge leading to a large flowering tree in the center of the pond. The trees, grass, and bushes in the foreground are shades of blueish-green. A screenshot from the game, Wanderstop. Alta is standing in front of a large window looking into a whimsical tea shop. The exterior of the shop is warm oranges and creams, and there are pops of color from the stained glass window, the window border, and various hanging plant pots. In the distance are trees glowing pink from the sunlight and a blue sky with stars showing. A dirt pathway leading through a clearing in what seems to be evening. The path is tan, but the grass and leaves are shades of deep blue and almost reddish-pink. There are two lampposts glowing, one close to the foreground and one in the distance. A screenshot from the game Wanderstop. Alta is sitting on a bench, holding a cup of tea, contemplating. The grass and environment are in lush oranges and reds. You can see the tea shop behind Alta, as well as a section of forest.

Get lost at Wanderstop… and find yourself again.

Our summer season kicks off with our episode covering this beautiful game about burnout, healing and tea, from @ivyroadgames.bsky.social. Streaming this Thursday, June 19!
Collage of screenshots from the game Wanderstop, featuring a clearing in a wooded glade, with bright pink and purple trees. The screenshots feature a large rotund man with a jolly face, and a young woman with white hair and fighters clothes, who appears to be very sad and distressed in some, and calm in others.
