Wanderlost

About

Wanderlost is an indie adventure simulator where you start with almost nothing in a zombie infested wilderness. You spend your time hunting animals, setting traps, gathering resources, and constructing a shelter from scratch. The game blends exploration with base building as you try to establish a sustainable life rather than just scraping by day to day. You will need to find food and water while keeping an eye out for hostile creatures that roam the map. What makes this title stand out is its charming art style that clashes with the survival mechanics. It feels less like a grim horror game and more like a quirky adventure where you can actually thrive. Players on PC have noted how satisfying it feels to transform a empty spot into a fully functional home base. The single player campaign lets you set your own pace without any pressure from other users. This developer Eli Segal managed to create a world that feels lived in even after just a few hours of play.

Storyline
