I’m devestated though at how different it was after the latest update!! I loved the ability to make gardens and waterfalls and a few new animals, but the atmosphere and overall vibe changed completely :( It is really a good game still though, I’m only complaining bc the previous version was like my ‘calm place’ and now it’s gone! I wish you could republish the 2024 version!! I would get that so fast! ### 3/5 — My carefully created garden disappeared within 8 hours despite saving down the map/garden *2026-05-30, version 2.4* I have used the “save” option for map, and selected “recover garden”. However, within the space of 8 hours, half of my garden have disappeared, half of them remains but are distorted. Please can you advise how to preserve / extract the saved contents going forward? ### 2/5 — :( *2026-05-13, version 2.4* I couldn’t update my review on my android for some reason, it’s like they locked my ability to make one, but before all the updates now I feel like this game lacks heart. I know it sounds stupid but I realize there’s not as much character customization anymore. There’s a lack of clothes. Clothing being gender locked and I’m still experiencing crashes both of my phones can play genshin impact and games similar to that :/ so I fail to understand what happened. This game was great! Now I’m just really disappointed. ### 5/5 — онлайн *2026-03-02* добавьте онлайн пожалуйста **Developer response:** Спасибо за игру и за поддержку :) Я работаю над этими играми один, поэтому мне очень сложно добавлять онлайн-функции. Но я буду следить за сервисами, которые могут подойти для небольшого разработчика, как я. ### 5/5 — More biomes *2025-10-10, version 2.3* Please add tropical and desert biomes ### 2/5 — Mise à jour à enlever !!!!! *2025-10-04* Bonjour j’adorais votre jeu avant la 1,8 il était reposant on pouvait se transformer en animal je sais que vous ne pouvez plus l’enlever mais je vous demande sa vous pouvez fair un autre jeu comme sa avant la 1,8 ! **Developer response:** J’ai publié la mise à jour 2.4 et vous devriez toujours pouvoir vous transformer en animaux. Ouvrez la roue d’action avec le bouton au-dessus du bouton Saut, puis choisissez **Animaux**. En dessous des boutons des animaux, appuyez sur **Changer de forme**. Lorsque la Changer de forme est activée, appuyer sur un animal vous permettra de vous transformer en lui. Si vous la désactivez, appuyer sur un animal le fera simplement apparaître à côté de vous. Vous pouvez aussi vous approcher de la plupart des animaux pour les monter. Certains se montent dessus, tandis que pour d’autres vous vous transformez directement en eux. Je suis très heureux que vous trouviez Wilderless relaxant, car c’est exactement le but du jeu. Merci beaucoup pour votre soutien et vos encouragements. ### 5/5 — stuck on a ship *2025-10-01, version 2.3* *update after developer response* Thank you! The game is beautiful and soooo relaxing. I hope to see the ship again with controls to leave it. I love that the dungeons have no enemies or fighting. Really great game!! ### 4/5 — Beautiful yet laggy *2025-09-24, version 2.3* An aesthetic and serene game that encourages exploring. There’s a lot of customization options as well. However, it’s laggy both on my iPhone and iPad. Perhaps it’ll be better if I adjust the settings, but I selected the recommended quality for both. ## Frequently asked questions about Wilderless ### What is Wilderless?
