A screenshot of Wanderstop's Steam page. At the top is a Sword Celebration Banner, indicating Wanderstop's participation in the event. The left section of the page is paused on the trailer at the moment Alta is preparing to throw an item into the tea machine. The right section of the page has the capsule image, the steam short description, and quick stats like the review reception, dev and publisher names, release date, and popular tags.

The Sword Celebration has officially begun, and Wanderstop is taking part!

Alta's sword is central to her emotional journey during Wanderstop. Will she be able to wield it again? Pick it up, and play to find out (on sale for 20% off until September 6th)! ⚔🍵

A graphic to showcase Wanderstop's participation in the Sword Celebration on Steam. The top center text says: September 1st - 8th 10am Pacific. Sword Celebration. The outer portion of the template (and background image) is of a illustrated giant sword in the ground, with other smaller swords also in the ground off into the distance. There are two mountains on the horizon, and the sun looks like it's setting directly behind the main sword. A rectangle overlay on the background image provides a section for the Wanderstop main capsule, which shows the Wanderstop logo and an image of Alta and Boro sitting on a bench in front of the titular tea shop. Alta's sword is stuck in the foreground of the image.

You ever go back to your saved videogame footage and reminisce about all the great times you've had? Yeah.

Cedre did an incredible job with Wanderstop — if you have a project that needs UI, definitely reach out to them!
cedre.bsky.social Cedre 🍃 @cedre.bsky.social · Aug 1
One of my favorite part of creating UI is always about making icons. First is from Wanderstop, then Desta: The memories between. Next ones are from apps projects. #UI #Icons
Black and white icons made for Wanderstop. Icons for the game Desta, it is about a bunch of different actions the player can use to fight. Icons of different objects and animals. Icons of albums and pictures, a cup of tea, an eye.

Do you remember when games had jingles when you hit the start button? Like, in Silent Hill, or how the resident evil man says RESIDENT EEVIIIL?

We stopped doing it and I hate that this tradition is gone. I miss it so much, I put it in Wanderstop, a game I worked on.

A graphic for the Steam Summer Sale. It shows an illustrated background with what sems to be an orange cliffside and a group around a hole in the ground doing some sort of ceremony. The text says "Steam Summer Sale: June 26th - July 10th @ 10 am PT" On the right of the image is the Wanderstop vertical key art, showing Alta and Boro (two of the main characters) sitting on a bench outside a blue/pink forest and cozy tea shop. Alta looks upset and Boro looks content. Text says: "Wanderstop". The pricing indicates -20% off, 24.99 USD has a strikethrough and below it is the discounted price of 19.99 USD.

Colors of Wanderstop 🎨
A screenshot from the game, Wanderstop. Alta is standing in a grassy clearing in front of a small pond. The trees in the distance are a soft pink, and there's a small bridge leading to a large flowering tree in the center of the pond. The trees, grass, and bushes in the foreground are shades of blueish-green. A screenshot from the game, Wanderstop. Alta is standing in front of a large window looking into a whimsical tea shop. The exterior of the shop is warm oranges and creams, and there are pops of color from the stained glass window, the window border, and various hanging plant pots. In the distance are trees glowing pink from the sunlight and a blue sky with stars showing. A dirt pathway leading through a clearing in what seems to be evening. The path is tan, but the grass and leaves are shades of deep blue and almost reddish-pink. There are two lampposts glowing, one close to the foreground and one in the distance. A screenshot from the game Wanderstop. Alta is sitting on a bench, holding a cup of tea, contemplating. The grass and environment are in lush oranges and reds. You can see the tea shop behind Alta, as well as a section of forest.

If you've been needing an excuse to get a game that's about brewing tea, reflecting on life, and perhaps facing some hard truths, Wanderstop is part of the Steam Summer Sale!

Sorry to Gerald's son who probably doesn't want this picture posted up in a tea shop 😅

Boro's absolutely right: there are few satisfactions than making and giving someone a cup of tea 🍵

Get lost at Wanderstop… and find yourself again.

Our summer season kicks off with our episode covering this beautiful game about burnout, healing and tea, from @ivyroadgames.bsky.social. Streaming this Thursday, June 19!
Collage of screenshots from the game Wanderstop, featuring a clearing in a wooded glade, with bright pink and purple trees. The screenshots feature a large rotund man with a jolly face, and a young woman with white hair and fighters clothes, who appears to be very sad and distressed in some, and calm in others. The graphic readds "Ep. 46 - Wanderstop Streaming Thursday, June 19"

The best game of 2025 is still up in the air, but, so far, we've loved Wanderstop's mixture of calming chill and existential crisis. The latest Gamify My Life feature explains exactly why:

My best game of 2025 so far is a relaxing game about running a purgatory tea shop called Wanderstop [Gamify My Life]
I bought Wanderstop to relax and run my own tea shop, but I fell in love with the existential crisis it gave me.
