My Wanderling

Read full description

A creature is born from one place. And only once. Your location, the weather and the hour of your first meeting become a genome โ€“ colour, ears, eyes, voice. That combination never happens again. After that, your Wanderling grows from one thing only: the real steps you take together. EVERY METRE COUNTS No start button, no countdown. It simply counts along โ€“ including the steps you take while the app is closed. With Travel Mode even trains, cars and flights count. At 1, 10, 100 and 1000 km its body changes. GATHERED ALONG THE WAY Berries, shells, slivers of moon โ€“ 40 finds, each with its own little story, and each one remembers WHERE it was found. The shore gives different things than the mountains. ALL IN THE BACKPACK The collection, the wardrobe (found blossoms, hats, trophies โ€“ wear them all at once if you like), postcards from every big journey, and your friendship album. NINE GAMES โ€“ AND ONE FOR TWO Balloon, fireflies, shooting stars, echo song, bubbles, shell game, kite, peekaboo and pairs. Every game can drop a snack for the basket. And when another Wanderling is really standing next to you: the Balloon Duet โ€“ one balloon, two skies, two phones. REAL MEETINGS Two devices find each other directly โ€“ no server, no account. Your creatures swap cards, stories and a little gift. An experienced creature can bless a young one: a godparent bond, in the passport forever. A LIFE, NOT A CHORE LIST Pet it, tickle it, cuddle it โ€“ and if you hold it long enough, it falls asleep in your hands. It dreams every morning, sometimes wishes for something ("to smell the sea"), and learns your secret knock โ€“ which one day it knocks back at you. Forget it and you don't lose it. It sleeps and waits. YOUR JOURNEY MAP Every path, every trip, every find spot โ€“ on a map that exists only on your device. With time travel: where were you in the last 24 hours? HONEST No account. No server. No ads. No streaks, no guilt. The whole game is free โ€“ the keepsakes (passport PDF, certificate, dream journal, map poster) are the only thing you can buy, and they change nothing about the game.

Raise a monster from an egg to its final form. It gets hungry, it gets sick, and it grows old. How you care for it decides what it becomes. A SHORT VISIT, A LONG STORY Feeding, cleaning and training take seconds. You only need to look in a few times a day. Between visits your monster keeps living on the server: it digests, it makes a mess, it ages. CARE IS THE MECHANIC, NOT THE DECORATION Leave it hungry or leave the mess, and a care mistake is recorded. Those mistakes decide which branch it evolves down. Two players raising the same egg end up with different monsters, and the difference is how they looked after it. FIVE STAGES, ABOUT FIVE DAYS Baby, Child, Adult, Perfect, Ultimate. Each stage takes real time, and running a foggy maze shortens the wait. Only an Ultimate has a lifespan, and when it ends you hold a farewell, open one of three chests, and keep a memorial of the one you raised. THEN YOU START AGAIN A new egg, a different route, the gear you kept. The dex fills in, titles unlock, and your trainer level carries over. ALSO IN THE GAME - Live tap battles: build momentum, win the QTE, land the bonus hit - Player versus player - Daycare that freezes time when you cannot check in - Shell colours and frames your opponents can see - A full in-game guide with the real drop rates and evolution conditions No ads.
