Rated "Very Positive" on Steam, The Wandering Village takes place on the back of a giant creature named Onbu. You’ll need to expand your colony while surviving numerous threats and overcoming various challenges.

Developed by Stray Fawn Studio, The Wandering Village lets you build a settlement on the back of a gigantic creature. However, while the concept may seem simple, this game features a variety of mechanics.

Indeed, many mysterious plants are spreading across the world, releasing large quantities of toxic spores into the environment. As a result, a small group of survivors has taken refuge on the back of a giant creature to survive.

Thus, as a player, your role is to lead these survivors and ensure their survival. Construct buildings, set up production chains, and use the available space.

You'll travel through various biomes with valuable resources. To collect them, send out explorers. Research technologies to improve your colony. However, each advancement can also bring new challenges, and many dangers await you. To deal with them, guide Onbu and make decisions that benefit either your villagers or the creature.
