Wanderstop is an upcoming life simulation game developed by Ivy Road and published by Annapurna Interactive. It is written and directed by Davey Wreden, composed by C418, and created with Karla Zimonja. It follows a former warrior named Alta, who seeks to heal her trauma from fighting in an arena by tending to a tea shop and helping its patrons.
After C418 and Wreden each had ideas for a video game starting in 2015, development on the game began around 2017. Though Wreden's vision was originally only to make a cozy game, the game's focus shifted to the subject of trauma when Zimonja joined development. The three co-founded the studio Ivy Road and formed a partnership with the publisher Annapurna. They officially announced the studio in July 2021, and their debut game as Wanderstop in June 2024 with a release date set for later that year. In October, the game was delayed to early 2025.
The game is scheduled to release in early 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Windows on Steam.
