About
Welcome to Wayward Valley, a captivating semi-sandbox turn-based RPG that blends village building, resource management, and dungeon crawling into one epic adventure. After a sudden death transports you to a mysterious new world, you'll start from nothing and forge your own destiny in this isekai-inspired journey.
Transform a humble settlement into a thriving city at the edge of the kingdom. Every building, every workshop, and every home must be constructed by your own hands using resources gathered from the wild. As your village grows, you'll attract new NPCs—each with their own skills, needs, and personalities. Keep them fed, happy, and employed, or risk losing valuable high-level workers who take their expertise with them when they leave.
Master the art of resource gathering and crafting as you explore the dangerous wilderness surrounding Wayward Valley. Collect materials, forge powerful equipment, and prepare your hunters for the challenges ahead. Your farming and crafting skills will be the backbone of your settlement's success—every resource matters, every item crafted brings you closer to prosperity.
Recruit and manage a team of hunters who will protect your village and venture into the unknown. Your first companion is an ambitious young hunter seeking glory in the new frontier. Together, you'll clear dangerous areas, defeat monsters, and unlock new gathering zones for your villagers. Equip your heroes with the gear you've crafted and watch them grow stronger with each victory.
At the border of the kingdom stands the Tower—a mysterious dungeon filled with increasingly powerful monsters and rare treasures. Your village exists to defend this crucial location. Battle through the Tower's floors in turn-based combat, defeat guardians, and unlock rooms filled with unique resources that can't be found anywhere else. The deeper you venture, the greater the rewards—and the greater the danger.
Balance the needs of your expanding population with the demands of the capital. Your NPCs require food and happiness to remain productive. You'll pay taxes to the kingdom based on your population size, but in return, you'll have access to trade routes and support. Make strategic decisions about which buildings to construct, which NPCs to prioritize, and how to allocate your precious resources.
Wayward Valley is designed for players who love the satisfaction of gradual progression and long-term planning. This is a game where patience is rewarded, where every hour of grinding brings visible improvements to your village and your heroes. Watch your settlement evolve from a few wooden huts to an impressive city, and see your hunters grow from novices to legendary warriors.

Reviews
The game has a solid premise but it really needs a LOT of work before being playable. You start chopping wood, build the settlement, first slime battle.. I really enjoyed it to that point even though it lacks in the UI, walking pace is really slow with no sprint, the controls aren't clear (Lenovo GoS SteamOS, controller input only work in game and not in the main menu and have to remap the buttons every time the game starts, but performance is great with 80+fps) once I reached the first dungeon.. I get the 3 lvl3 slime battles and no matter what I do I instantly die after my first attack and cannot proceed to the second door... pretty dissapointed I could only get less than 1 hour in and got stonewalled, with no avenue for progression.. the music is a 10/10 though.
This game is good, I would 100% recommend people to play it.
This game has the potential to be very good!, but it need more work to do. maybe it was better to wait and polish the game more
Wowwww what a nice game love to see more cant wait tttttt
I got in this game and visually I was invested, and as the developer keeps making effort to increase it makes me want to play it more. Gameplay Difficulty was quite hard but doable. I enjoy the take of making it a cozy game. fun characters and relaxing areas. The music is also great. There are few things that needed a lot of work, I contacted the developer and he resolved most of the issues I was having Instantly. So they are actively working on the game. I want to see how good this game will get in the future.
With a displeasure, I will have to change my review. At the time I did enjoy this game, but with no updates or real communication from the dev it makes it too difficult for me to support the game. Multiple messages were sent on the discord in hopes of getting words about updates, but nothing ever followed through. It does seem like the dev is going through personal challenges, but claimed they would make a plan for release. Maybe I will continue playing this game after the update if there is one, but as of now I can not suggest playing this game.
