Close to interactive fiction in form, this is a narrative game. It follows several modern travelers on journeys around the world, and through their experiences it looks at what they are searching for, what worries them and what they hope to find. You make decisions at many points, shaping the course of each trip and how each character changes.
It is a single-player game that is almost entirely text, supported by illustrations, so Wanderlust Travel Stories plays like a choose-your-path book. There is no combat and no time pressure. Wanderlust Travel Stories suits readers, people who love travel writing and players looking for a calm, thoughtful game to enjoy at their own speed.
