Stray Fawn’s The Wandering Village – a city building sim set on the back of a giant, roaming creature – will be launching into Steam early access next Wednesday, 14th September.
Announced last August, The Wandering Village tasks players with constructing a safe haven for a group of survivors in a dangerous, post-apocalyptic world. Its city building aspects might be familiar, but those are combined with resource management, rogue-like elements, and survival, all connected to the ever-moving creature, known as Onbu, the survivors now call home.
“Forging a relationship between the villagers and Onbu might be challenging at times, as their interests often don’t align,” Stray Fawn explains. “As a living creature, its unique body poses its own challenges for your village design. There’s every chance a spike may have grown where villagers intended to place their kitchen, while a failed harvest may cause desperation and tempt villagers to draw blood from the creature for food.”
