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 🍃 Available for work @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 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.

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!

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:

@hellocakebread.bsky.social @ivyroadgames.bsky.social

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.
