What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Wandering People features a unique core mechanic where time flows exactly the same as in reality. This is a central part of the game. I want to see how this experimental approach resonates with players and refine the game's meditative atmosphere and balance through community feedback during Early Access. Beyond the currently implemented subway and stations, I plan to complete the game by sequentially adding more meaningful locations for wandering, guided by player input.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate the Early Access period to last approximately 12 to 18 months.”

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

“In the full version, we plan to add various locations where players can wander, such as cafes and houses. We also aim to introduce new features that will deepen the experience of wandering. Our goal is to gradually improve the overall game details, including animations, based on player feedback during Early Access to enhance the final quality.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version provides core gameplay set in subway stations and train interiors. A time system synchronized 1:1 with reality is implemented, allowing players to experience the game's core goal of 'wandering' by walking through the subway or sitting and contemplating while looking out the window.”

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

“The price is expected to increase upon the official release at the end of Early Access.”

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

“We plan to actively monitor the Steam Discussion boards to collect player feedback. In addition to quickly addressing functional inconveniences and bugs, we intend to review the personal 'wandering' experiences and creative suggestions shared by users to incorporate them into the development of new locations and features. We will work closely with the community to enhance the game's overall quality together.”

About This 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.
