About The Wandering Village

✦ AI summary

Lead a settlement built on the back of a giant wandering creature called Onbu, managing production chains and resources while adapting to ever-changing biomes in a toxic post-apocalyptic world. Balance symbiosis with your host organism against the survival needs of your villagers as you research forgotten technologies and fend off environmental threats in this unique take on city-building.

In a world where mysterious plants are spreading all over the earth, emitting toxic spores as they grow, a small group of survivors seeks shelter on the back of a giant, wandering creature they call 'Onbu'.Become their leader, build their settlement and form a symbiotic relationship with Onbu to survive together in this hostile, yet beautiful post-apocalyptic world.

Build your village

A functioning village is the basis of your survival. Build your settlement and expand it over Onbu’s back. Plan production chains and optimise them to utilise the limited space as efficiently as possible. Create a society that can overcome any challenge.

Live on the creature’s back

Living on the back of another organism comes with its own set of challenges. Will you live in symbiosis, bond with Onbu and survive on mutual trust? Or will you become a parasite, only aiming to ensure a better life for your villagers? The choice is yours.

Discover different biomes

Continuously adapt your village as you travel through a multitude of different biomes, each with its unique climate zones, opportunities and threats. Scout your environments and send out foraging missions to gather rare resources and ancient artefacts.

Research new technologies

Remnants of the old world hold knowledge that has long been forgotten, but can be unearthed by your villagers. Find and research these technologies, but use them wisely, as progress can be a double-edged sword.

Survive the wastelands

Ensure the survival of both your villagers and your Onbu, even though poisonous spores, merciless weather, bloodsucking parasites and many more challenges mean that the odds are often stacked against you.

A very cute city builder with some valuable lessions on how to live in harmony with nature. The music is great. If you like Ghibli movies such as "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind", you will love this one. That said: I got about 15 hours of decent gameplay out of it (means: 15 hours in which I actually experience something new and do not just replay), but I personally think that is just the right amount of time for the concept.

A wonderful blend of city-building, survival, and storytelling. I didn't expect I am going to enjoy this game. haha. Kudos to everyone involved in creating this game. Beautiful art, relaxing music, and memorable characters. I enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommended. 10/10 😊

It's a cute city builder in a (eventually) Harsh world. Im doing the challenges @15 now. Great game. Only thing I don't like is the Main line research idea. It should be smaller trees. Eg. Storage. this one line forces you to research other things first, sometimes unnecessarily, it feels.
