About the Game

Just wander. There could be many reasons why, but maybe the reason doesn't matter all that much.

The goal is simply to spend time in different places, drifting along.

But as always, time feels incredibly slow in moments like these.

Keep this in mind: one second, one minute, and one hour in reality is exactly the same as one second, one minute, and one hour in this game.

Wander for as long as you can. Going straight back home would only feel lonely.

Wandering People is a simulation game where you can experience the emotions of young people drifting without a fixed destination.

Key Features:

  • The Flow of Time : Time in the game flows exactly the same as in reality. For example, 8 hours must pass in real life for 8 hours to pass in the game.

  • Boredom : Time doesn't pass as quickly as you think, and it can be boring. You will realize that reality is much the same.

  • Gameplay : There are no complex controls. You simply walk or sit on a bench.

  • Confined Space : Currently, the wandering begins in the isolated space of a subway. Experience the aimless journey amidst repetitive scenery.

  • Expanding Journey (Early Access Plan) : While it is currently set in subway stations and trains, we plan to gradually expand the locations for wandering as development progresses.

Caution

This game explores themes of depression and isolation. Please be advised that you may encounter heavy emotional portrayals during gameplay.
