Wanderhome is an indie role-playing game by game designer Jay Dragon about animal people in a pastoral setting, based upon the Belonging Outside Belonging game system by Avery Alder and Benjamin Rosenbaum. [1] It is published by Possum Creek Games. Unlike typical tabletop role-playing games, Wanderhome does not use dice, turns, or a gamemaster, focusing instead on the characters' emotional journey. Dialogue takes the place of battles, and gameplay revolves around question prompts. [2]
The mood of Wanderhome, according to Polygon's Chase Carter, is cozy and wholesome, with an undercurrent of trauma from the land's past wars. [3] It was influenced by the Redwall books [4] and Studio Ghibli animated films. It was funded and fulfilled through Kickstarter. [5]
Wanderhome won 2022 ENNIE Awards for Best Family-Friendly Game (Gold), Best Cover Art (Gold), and Best Interior Art (Silver). [6] Wanderhome was nominated for the 2021 Nebula Award for Best Game Writing. [7] Wanderhome was featured in Itch.io's charity bundle for abortion funds. [8]
