Prior to today, the game has been in restricted access. Restricted access no more! The game is now available for everyone to enjoy, and with it's public launch comes the full release of Chapter 1's story content. 

As of today, the public build of the game contains:

• The Prologue & Episode I
• Over 20 codex entries for you to discover
• Over 500k words of cumulative game content (75k for an average playthrough, or roughly 2 and a half hours of gameplay)
• All-new UI designs and visual assets, including unique screens for shopping, bartering, and your inventory
• Toggleable dark and light modes
• Toggleable fullscreen mode for desktop
• Full mobile compatibility, for both portrait and landscape modes

Known Issues for Mobile

While getting the game's mobile compatibility ready has been a major focus, there are still some issues mobile players may encounter. These issues are fairly minor and do not prevent the game from being played. 

• The game will only open in portrait mode on Chromium-based browsers
• Some spacing/formatting issues, particularly on landscape. Doesn't effect readability, might just look a little weird. 
• Dual scrollbars trigger on landscape mode (one for the passage text and one for the background). Not sure if this can be fixed. This is not an issue on portrait mode. 

Known Issues for Desktops & Laptops

If you are playing on a laptop or a desktop with a small screen, the game's default font and size may appear a lot larger than intended if your display resolution scale is greater than 100%. 

You may need to set your resolution scale to 100% if you want to view the game as intended.  

Notes For Returning Players

If you played the game while it was in restricted access, you MUST START A NEW SAVE FILE. Your previous save file will be broken. 

Notes for New Players

Welcome! Wayfarer is a passion project that has been in (mostly) full-time development since October 2020. The game is released episodically, on a chapter-by-chapter basis. Unfortunately, there is no set schedule for chapter releases as some chapters take more time than others. The game will update periodically, when new content has been written, coded, playtested and prepared for public release. 

If you're interested in early access and behind-the-scenes posts, there is an alpha version of the game available through my Patreon (patreon.com/idrellegames). The alpha build contains in-development content that goes beyond what is playable in the public build. 

Thank you for playing!
