What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Because the scope of the game has grown bigger and deeper than I thought it would be, but from now on the updates are mostly about content, such as new areas, dungeons, character classes, side-quests, npcs and secrets.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“One year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I'm planning to add more overworld areas, dungeons, rest of the story content, side-quests and secrets.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access version contains story related and side quests, multiple overworld areas, over 10 dungeons, 10 character classes (some of them have sub-classes), lots of equipment to improve characters and other items to help on your journey, lots of secrets to find and NPCs to interact with.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, price will be gradually raised when new content and features are shipped.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I will communicate directly with the Community through the forum, read through all the feedback and respond to it, give news about updates and answer questions about the game.”

About This Game

'Ghosts 'n Qualities' Update v.0.7 has been released!


Chronicles of Vaeltaja: In Search of the Great Wanderer takes you back to the golden era of pc gaming, when role-playing games like Dungeon Master, Might and Magic, Eye of the Beholder, Lands of Lore, Wizardry and Ultima ruled the world. Gather your party of six adventurers and embark on a journey through the colourful kingdom of Twin Falls where sunny fields, lush forests, misty swamps and dark dungeons await to be explored!

Welcome, traveller, to the kingdom of Twin Falls where strange menace is threatening the land that once lived in tranquil. You are hired by the King Menekses II to investigate strange occurrences in seaside town of Pramea where children have been disappearing and travellers are under constant attacks from bandits and beasts that shouldn't even roam there. Your job is to gather a party and find out who or what is behind this new threat and uncover the mystery of the Great Wanderer who once saved the humanity from a great peril.
