Wanderstop from the creator of The Stanley Parable has me wondering what’s really going on

Developer Ivy Road and publisher Annapurna Interactive revealed the developers debut title, Wanderstop, during Summer Game Fest 2024. Ivy Road, an outstanding development team full of talent, lead by the creator of The Stanley Parable Davey Wreden, is making a

In Wanderstop players will take on the persona of Alta, a fallen fighter, tasked with managing a tea shop in a magical forest. Players will tend to customers passing through the forest, making their tea and cleaning up and decorating the shop. But there’s a catch: Alta doesn’t want to be at the tea shop.

If you’ve played The Stanley Parable, you’ll know that Alta’s wandering mind and thoughts have her questioning why the world’s greatest championship warrior is toiling away at a Tea Shop in the middle of the forest. In the trailer, Alta sits on a bench, trying to convince herself she’s happy running the Tea Shop before having a bit of a panic attack.

Quickly what looked like a happy cozy Tea Shop management title changed into something more. I’m not sure what exactly players will have to contend with as playing Alta, but I’m very ready to find out.

Wanderstop is coming soon to PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.
