Wanderstop managed to tug at my emotions even while I was making tea, and I absolutely love that about it. If you’re in the mood for a cozy gaming experience this weekend, whether you’re curled up indoors or enjoying the hint of spring outside, Wanderstop is a perfect choice. It’s currently available for a sweet deal at $22.49 until March 18, thanks to the Steam Spring Sale (normally priced at $24.99).
In Wanderstop, you get to immerse yourself in delightful activities like reading, brewing tea, and sprucing up your charming little shop. But don’t let that fool you—this game introduces some intriguing elements with its storytelling and design choices. As the narrative unfolds, you’ll discover that Wanderstop delves into themes like battling burnout, staying present in the moment, learning to let go, and navigating through those challenging emotions. If Animal Crossing is like the friend who always nods along with your questionable choices, Wanderstop feels more like the therapist who gently pushes you to rethink that negative self-talk.
