About the Game

Hiya, Yeti here. Look, I need some help around the Tavern, you think you could pick up a shift or two? You got this quality about you that I'm desperately lacking around here... Thumbs! Thumbs and Motivation!

Now the idea for the bar is something only a true genius could have thought up. There's never any good food around for adventures after a mission, and they're always hungry after a good fight. That's where we swoop in. I made a deal with a dragon and now we have a tavern on his back! (We feed him some of the tavern revenue).

We fly from dungeon to dungeon serving starving adventures before and after their missions.

You'll have to make dishes in the kitchen, remember peoples favorite drinks, and of course be a stand in therapist for when a barbarian breaks his favorite axe in battle.

Listen, the drinks you serve, and the food you prepare has a real effect on people ok?

A nutritious meal the night before a brawl could be the difference between slaying a slime, or ending up on a kobolds Pike. Not to mention the monsters have been running more and more rampant recently!

It's up to us to make sure our Heroes are in peak form!

Think you can handle our crazy clientele? Come test your culinary chops at The Wandering Wyrm!

Hi! It's Noah, Lead Developer of the wandering wyrm.

Now that you've met yeti, I wanted to talk about the games roadmap.

Right now, what will be available is chapters 1-3 (dungeons 1-3) of the game - with mostly completed content. I won't reveal too much of what we have planned, but expect more unique characters, more choices, more story to come. Wandering Wyrm is planned to have 10 story chapters with roughly 4 different endings and a number of "sub-endings" (character specific endings)

While the art is mostly generative ai, the code and writing are less than 5% generative ai. - We have handcrafted this universe and it all started from a small idea - could a dragon carry a bar? (Honestly I got the idea from 7 deadly sins and the boar's hat!.)

Pricing will go as follows - and we plan to increase the price as more content becomes available - so buy now!

$1 if you purchase now (while only 1-3 is available)

$2.99 purchase on the next major release (1-6 available)

$3.99 - Price for dungeons (1-9)

$4.99 - Full release price (for beta)

$5.99 - Full release after exiting beta

Wandering Wyrm has been a labor of love that has been developed off and on for about a year now. The team at critical sprite games wanted to say - Thank you, and good luck on your first shift!
