Davey Wreden, the creator of The Stanley Parable, has revealed his next game: Wanderstop. A dramatic shift from his previous work, Wanderstop appears to be a deconstruction of the cozy game genre. Revealed at Summer Game Fest 2024 , Wanderstop follows a fallen fighter named Alta who leaves behind her former life to run a cozy tea shop.
When not tending to her garden and foraging in the magical forest, she manages a small tea shop where she tends to customers passing through. However, not all is quite a cute and cozy as it seems. Though Wanderstop is narrative-focused and has farming sim elements, Alta's violent past seems to haunt her.
In the game's YouTube trailer description, the studio writes: "Alta does not want to be here. And if she gets her way, the tea shop will be nothing but a brief and painful memory." Wanderstop appears to be a PlayStation 5 exclusive and is listed as "coming soon.
".
