Game Concept Presentation‘Discover ancient ruins, decipher puzzles and

adventure across a forgotten land.’

Overview

Washed up on the shore of an unfamiliar locale, The Wanderer, an android, must venture through forests, caverns, lakes and a grave darkness that is rising from beneath the island. Discover ancient remnants; decipher puzzles and adventure across the forgotten land.

The core concept of the game is to have a live world thriving with content – leaving the player wanting to explore every inch of the entire island for extra narrative. The narrative is left quite open for each player to interpret the plot in his or her own unique way, creating a different experience for each player.
