Wilderplace

Wilderplace is a contemplative adventure set in the Divine Garden, a maze-like world of puzzles, restless spirits and dangerous intruders. You explore, use magical artifacts and uncover the garden's mysteries. Rather than fight, you help characters and influence how they interact with each other and the world.

The Divine Garden

The garden's denizens and intruders have distinct goals and priorities. New characters and obstacles deepen the story while adding challenges, and your choices give you moral agency. The game includes more than 10 NPCs, each with their own goals and abilities, whose interactions can produce emergent situations.

Puzzles and progression

Wilderplace has more than 150 interconnected, turn-based puzzles. Each level can be solved in multiple ways and becomes frozen in place once completed; levels connect across a branching world map. Although the levels are hand-crafted, each play-through is unique.

You begin with only your staff. As you explore, you unlock tools for solving problems and new ways to move, letting you approach familiar areas differently. Later puzzles require you to manipulate time, space and your surroundings. Puzzle mechanics also support the story, and secrets can be unlocked along the way.

Art and soundtrack

The game uses hand-drawn art made from more than 2,000 individual pencil drawings, alongside a dynamic retro synth soundtrack. A play-through takes 10–15 hours.
