This is our first game, but people from our team worked on big titles before (The Witcher, Dead Island, Hitman)
The game needed to be really well written, to satisfy our standards of storytelling.
There are many that we use in our daily lives.

We've envisioned Wanderlust Travel Stories as an interactive travelogue. It's a text-based, life-inspired, educational experience that not only introduces the player to many diverse and rich cultures of our planet but also emphasizes real problems our society needs to face. The interactive medium lets us frame this within a personalized experience, allowing players to connect with the narrative on a deeper level. From dealing with one's own emotions, such as ambition, hope, grief or curiosity, to global problems, such as the destructive effect of tourism, climate change, colonialism, or the distorting lens of white privilege, we confront the player with the reality they might not be aware of. We've purposefully set our stories in places like the Antarctic, Rwanda or Thailand. In Wanderlust Travel Stories, we show the environmental, cultural and economic impact of our own European culture – which we're all too eager to disregard and consider harmless. It's important that our game has no fail states. The player can't win or lose, they can only change. They make choices dictated by their personal views or experiences, and see how these affect both the game's protagonists and the places they visit. The change comes in many forms. First, the choices influence the characters' mood. This, in turn, affects the way certain situations and surroundings are presented. The protagonists can see places in a different light when tired or anxious. This leads to the player being faced with different situations – and solutions. It's a subtle and seamless way of incorporating personal preferences into gameplay choices, which helped the game avoid being preachy while still touching on important subjects.
There isn't any other game about modern travel on the market.
We will soon add some free DLC.
