Wanderers' Outpost
A colony sim where dungeons sprout from the ground like mushrooms, but you're not the hero. You sell shovels to adventurers, send them to almost certain death, tax whatever loot they bring back, patch them up, then happily charge them for everything they need to do it all over again.

Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Wanderers' Outpost is a systems-heavy colony sim, and Early Access lets us improve it with community feedback while continuing development. We want players to help shape new features, balance, and content as the game grows.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 1 Year.”

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

“We plan to expand the game with more buildings, adventurer types, events, and progression systems. We also plan to add deeper town management, trading, and world-building features, alongside continued improvements to balance, UI/UX, art, and overall polish.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay loop: build and manage your outpost, attract adventurers, tax their loot, and support dungeon expeditions. Most major systems are in place and fully playable, though additional content, balancing, quality-of-life improvements, and polish are still in development.”

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

“Yes. We plan to gradually increase the price as new features and content are added during Early Access. Players who join early will receive the game at its lowest planned price.”

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

“We'll actively gather feedback through Steam discussions, Discord, and other community channels. Player feedback will help guide balance changes, quality-of-life improvements, and future features. We also plan to provide regular development updates and patch notes throughout Early Access.”

About This Game

Run the frontier outpost behind the Adventurer.

Every legendary dungeon expedition begins and ends at the settlement that supports it.

Wanderers' Outpost is a fantasy colony simulation about running that settlement. Adventurers arrive seeking supplies, rest, equipment, and companions before setting out on expeditions into procedurally generated dungeons. Their victories fuel the local economy, while injuries, losses, and failed expeditions leave lasting marks on the community that depends on them.

Build the Outpost That Feeds the Dungeon

  • A flexible settlement-building system featuring inns, kitchens, workshops, warehouses, production facilities, research stations, and expedition support buildings.

  • An interconnected economy driven by lodging, food, merchant trade, crafting, production chains, and treasure recovered from successful expeditions.

  • Daily life shaped by changing seasons, weather, resource shortages, and the growing demands of a busy frontier outpost.

Manage People With Problems

  • Simulation-driven workers, guards, merchants, guests, and adventurers with individual skills, needs, schedules, personalities, and relationships.

  • Hunger, fatigue, stress, injuries, recovery, morale, and social bonds influence productivity, behavior, and everyday settlement life.

  • Dynamic visitors, reputation growth, and random events continually introduce new opportunities, challenges, and stories.

Send Them Below, Deal With What Returns

  • An autonomous expedition system where adventuring parties prepare, travel, explore procedurally generated dungeons, battle monsters, recover treasure, and return according to the simulation.

  • Persistent dungeon progression, growing reputation, discovered locations, and escalating dangers make every expedition part of the settlement's long-term history.

  • Returning loot, wounded survivors, equipment losses, casualties, and newly uncovered opportunities continually reshape the economy and determine what comes next.

Protect What You've Built

  • Settlement defense supported by trained guards, hunters, fortifications, and equipment when monsters and other threats reach the frontier.

  • Emergencies, attacks, and unexpected crises place pressure on both the settlement's defenses and its economy.

Shape Your Archive

  • Built-in save management with large archive support and automatic tracking of the mod configuration used by each save.

  • Mod support for custom assets and resource data, allowing settlements to be customized and extended.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Embedded LLM for generating lore friendly Daily Journal based on event happening in the Outpost.

Might contains placeholder assets created during prototype to be replaced later during development.
