About
GATHER, FARM, FISH, CRAFT, BUILD, TRAP, FORTIFY, EXPLORE and LOOT your way to post-apocalyptic domination
Thrust into the wilderness with little more than the clothes on your back you must navigate a hostile wilderness teeming with zombies and wildlife. Finding food, water, and shelter are crucial for survival but can you move beyond mere survival to sustainable living, safety, and even domination?
The world of Wanderlost is procedurally generated, pick a direction and explore forever. Each new game is entirely unique world with new and unexpected challenges around every corner.
KEY FEATURES
Base Building
What might begin with stick-fences around a campfire for meager protection will ultimately progress to a sprawling base as you amass more and better resources. Fortify your position with metal walls or design a maze to take down Zombies without incurring any structural damage. Or focus on infrastructure, choosing to build wells, smokers, and root cellars over walls, turrets, and traps. If you have any time left over what base couldn't use a flower garden? The perfect base layout could be just one tile away.
Looting & Exploration
With great risk comes great reward. There are 9 unique biomes in Wanderlost, each possessing unique dangers and useful resources. Venture to the rainforest for bamboo but don't be ambushed by a jungle cat. Moving beyond the wilderness is risky but many items can only be found in the modern world. The abandoned structures, towns, and cities of old America have the highest zombie density but these modern structures may yield loot beyond what the wilderness can provide. As they say, guns and refrigerators don’t grow on trees.
Farming
Craft a hoe and get to tilling. Cultivate the land around you for sustenance. While you’re out exploring let mother nature put in some work growing your meals. Finding valuable seeds and crafting the tools to care for your growing garden will take time and dedication. It may take weeks for the fruits of your labor to be ready to harvest but the investment can provide a stockpile that will last you the winter. Just be sure you can preserve the spoils of your hard work.
Fish and Hunt
Catch yourself a meal and important resources to level up your survival. Keep warm with the hides you gather and craft fishing hooks and rods for bigger and better catches. Fishing can provide consistent food at a low risk but hunting can yield precious crafting resources like hides to survive the cold months.
Gathering
Spending time gathering resources like wood, ore, and fiber provides the materials to craft increasingly effective items, shelters, weapons, tools and more. Most resources require tools to harvest, be it an axe to chop down a tree, a shovel to dig up a plant, or a pickaxe to mine a rock. There are common resources like wood and stone but for more advanced crafting recipes you may have to scour the world for rare biomes and materials such as the bog providing vital peat and bog-steel. Diverse world biomes motivate exploration and can determine what makes a base location good or bad.
Combat
A lone zombie might be taken down with a club but greater numbers warrant more advanced equipment. Are you a stealthy sniper, picking off zombies one at a time with a bow or a rifle before retreating? Or a katana-wielding madman capable of wading into the thick of the horde and coming out the sole survivor? With over 75 different melee weapons, bows, and guns there a huge variety of potential builds and playstyles. You could even choose to fight only as a last resort, protecting yourself instead with extreme speed and trapping abilities.
Crafting & Preparation
It's important to make use of the downtime in between hunting and looting expeditions: crafting arrows, weaving cordage for building, fleshing hides for tanning, reloading your weapons, and more -- preparation is vital to success.
Character Customization
While fighting zombies is necessary to survival, Wanderlost also has deep RPG mechanics providing the player with a wide variety of engaging feedback; with each zombie you kill, tool you craft, and tree you chop you inch closer to the next level up, the next attribute points, the next powerful perk for your build.
