Overcome a thrilling hidden object puzzle adventure game and find a long-lost mystery in Wanderlust: The City of Mists!

So so saddened by this. We hope u guys reconsider for us who love those type of games. You guys truly make some awesome games . Ok rant over …. Bye …Le sigh 😔. ### 3/5 — Maybe it’s me *2024-11-03, version 1.0.5* I couldn’t stand this game and couldn’t wait for it to be done. I don’t believe I’ve used the hint button so much ### 5/5 — I play a lot of these types of adventure games - one of the best *2024-07-13, version 1.0.5* Just love, love, love this game! Can’t wait to investigate the wanderlust series and the rest of the games from this studio! The mini games are refreshingly new, the morphing and dress objects not hard to find! Great storyline, good gags, just loved it. ### 4/5 — Decent diversion *2023-09-11* Voice acting when available is good and graphics are clear. Missing explorer relative plot is a bit tired, though, and some optimization for the iPhone Pro Max would increase my star rating. The phone’s design—top “hole”—obscures some hidden objects & explore screens, and the puzzle to replace out-of-place items was taxing to complete since the bottom pictures were off screen. ### 5/5 — Just Plain Fun *2023-08-24* The story was entertaining, the characters memorable. The puzzles were interesting and actually relevant to the story. Highly recommended. I enjoyed this game more than any I’ve played in a long time (except wanderlust 4) ### 5/5 — Good *2023-06-20, version 1.0.5* Really enjoying this game so far ### 1/5 — Unplayable due to missing hit box in 4 section mini game. *2023-05-02* On the mysterious island the minigame when you are being told the story of your mothers arrival has a split screen section on the lower left where you are to cut something with the knife. The hit box for the knife to interact with the object isn’t there. Ipad easy mode. ### 5/5 — Double Drat Skunk and Badger 🤣 *2023-03-18* Oh. Emm. Geee! Where has this game been hiding? It’s sooo fun! Collins needs to be the main character in his own line of games. Please! He’s HILARIOUS! And the main female lead is voiced by the amazing Kendra Hoffman. She is SO good! I was dying when Collins threw a pie at an enemy and she said “That was stupid. Where’d you even get a pie from?” The writing is off the charts. Even the little written notifications when I tap an area I’ve already been to is clever and sometimes funny. The music is delightful, the graphics and art work amazing, and the game play itself was perfect with no glitches. The one and ONLY thing that didn’t work was that plus items in my tray of goodies did not animate letting me know I could act on it. But it didn’t affect game play or my extreme joy while playing this game. The monstrous creatures were glorious, fascinating, and gorgeous! The hidden object puzzles were just the right amount of challenging and easy to skip if that’s your thing (it’s my thing a lot of the time). In addition to the brilliant creation of Collins, there are some very unique and clever aspects to the game play. Like in the part where there was a rack of weapons, but I could use only one weapon at a time and had to experiment with each weapon until I picked the right one (which wasn’t as hard as I just made it sound). So fun! EVERYONE who developed this game needs a billion dollar raise. From the Q&A team to the marketing team to the janitor who kept your offices clean! This is a 12 star game, and now that I’ve finished it, I’m gonna turn right back around and play it again. It’s that much fun for me! To all the artists, programmers, engineers, designers, actors and actresses who devoted their skill, professionalism, and untold hours to creating this game… Thank you!!!!! BRAVO! 👏🏻🙌🏻 ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-01-19, version 1.0.5* This is very addictive ### 5/5 — Such witty dialogue! *2022-09-26, version 1.0.5* Excellent excellent excellent, love this game. Challenging, really gets you thinking and the dialogue is funny I’m loving this! ## Frequently asked questions about Wanderlust ### What is Wanderlust: The City of Mists about?
