The Wandering Village Overview
The Wandering Village is a city-building and survival simulation game developed and published by Swiss indie studio Stray Fawn Studio. The game centers around a group of human survivors who construct a village on the back of a massive, roaming creature known as Onbu in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by toxic plant growth. Players are tasked with maintaining a settlement while simultaneously managing their relationship with the creature they inhabit.
Development of The Wandering Village began publicly with a Kickstarter campaign launched in 2020. The game entered Early Access on September 15, 2022, and continued development for nearly two years. The full version 1.0 was released on July 17, 2025. The game is available on PC, Switch, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The Wandering Village Gameplay
The Wandering Village is a hybrid of city-building and survival management. Players are placed in control of a tribe of settlers who construct and maintain a functioning village atop a mobile creature named Onbu. The gameplay loop revolves around balancing the survival needs of the villagers with the health and well-being of Onbu.
The game is structured around real-time strategy mechanics with pause and speed controls. Core systems include resource gathering, food production, housing, research, and exploration. As Onbu moves through the world map, players must respond to changing environmental hazards, shifting biome conditions, and the presence of hostile elements such as toxic spores or parasites.
Progression is driven by unlocking new technologies through a tiered research tree, expanding infrastructure, and navigating increasingly hostile regions. The game includes both survival and sandbox modes, allowing for varied pacing and objectives.
