Wandersong Review

Posted: 13 months ago, last updated 6 months ago.

Overview

You play a bard on a quest to gather parts of a song. Uniquely, you interact with the environment and inhabitants by singing. Controlled by one of the direction sticks, you can access different notes on the coloured ‘Song Wheel’. This unusual way of solving problems and engaging with the world and other characters – townsfolk, grandparents, lumberjacks, doctors and your reluctant, grumpy witch companion, Miriam – builds playful relationships that feel surprisingly deep. As underlined by the singing and some dancing, this is a game about community relationships rather than one heroic individual.
