Wanderstop review – game like therapy

Thus, the invited “cozy” genre or “pleasant, cozy” video games are more extensive and popular than some of you can think. But what happens when this seemingly innocent, relaxing type of games accepts the author of the famous Parody game for Stanley’s parable? At this moment, you cannot rely on the fact that everything will go in accordance with the genre rules. On the contrary, in the seemingly innocent jacket there is an extremely smart game with unexpected turns and a strong message.

The forest seemed deeper than it seemed, and the tired Alta, after several days of the tests, could not tighten her own sword. A tired lost consciousness … and woke up in a clearing with a picturesque tea room. Its owner, a smiling gentleman named Boro, will offer a tired warrior’s rest and refreshing tea, in exchange for help with the work of the tea room. Since Alta is still much weakened, he decides to try for some time and accept the proposal.

Find lost strength and start winning again.

But this is definitely not a work or life that Alta represented. It is not surprising that first collecting raw materials, preparing tea or interaction with the passing buyers of the tea room. He sees himself somewhere else, focuses on his suffering and does not see much sense in the loss of time in this small boring tea room. However, with each other, with any other advice of the wise owner of the tea room, is slowly starting to change.

Change is a process

Like Stanley’s parable, Wanderstop also differs in how Story and Game Cliche blows. The contrast of a “cozy” operation of a picturesque tea room with an irritated and nervous waitress with the first minute is fun and leads to many funny and rather sad situations. Among other things, the arrival of each new visitor is also a big lesson, because they are very different people and sometimes talk about themselves what suffering they decide. In the role of Alta, you can give them advice or opinion, and in some cases you will find out if this will help.

Finally, you also understand the parallel between the game content, what you are doing and what you do in the game, and the attitude of your heroine and yourself. Initially, you do tea, as well as the search, planting and growing ingredients for it, cleaning in the tea room and its environs. You will also turn off customers. But some of them sooner or later receive your attention or heart, and before you find out, you will find that you really take care of them. Even in this strange boring place. And actually tea. Things that first represented a boring routine will receive a completely new meaning. For example, when one of the clients asked me to make a very difficult tea, I put it off for a long time, but in the end it was not as difficult as I was afraid, and the feeling of mastering the terrible task was definitely worth it. Does it sound familiar to you?

You will understand the parallel between the game content and the attitude of your heroine.

Of course, Wanderstop is not a game for everyone, in addition to a brightly colored style and, it would seem, a “boring” plot and game cartridges, it also jeopar of a low budget, so the history of history is not very epic, and this is only a few selected dialogs. But I dare to say that anyone who gives the game a chance will ultimately find that he affects a lot of his own life or anxiety. The fate of individual visitors and the efforts of the heroine again find lost energy very successfully speak of stressful and demanding modern life. In addition to reminding you of how important it is to be able to relax, the game also offers other strong moments, including the fact that you will not change yourself every day.
