A living idle RPG
Explore a living fantasy world that keeps moving while you're away.
A relaxing idle RPG about one long road east. Walk it, fight what crosses you, shelter in lantern-lit towns, and grow stronger — whether you're watching or not.
Free to play · Browser, Android, iPhone & iPad · No energy bar
Every wanderer starts at Wanderer's Rest and walks east into stranger country. How far you get is up to you — and your wanderer keeps walking while you're away.
Cross meadows, black fens, frozen reaches, burning ridges and the ruins of a fallen empire. Thirty-two regions, each with its own face, monsters and music.
Hundreds of creatures stand between you and the world's end — wolves and bog-horrors early, bone colossi and worse much later. Train Attack, Strength and Defence to meet them.
Loot and smith your way through 26 tiers of weapons, shields and armour, from a worn blade to legendary gold. Mine ore, smelt bars, forge upgrades at town blacksmiths.
Twenty-eight settlements line the road — safe ground with shops, blacksmiths, and locals who talk. Even build a house of your own along the way.
Close the app and your wanderer keeps going — walking, fighting, mining, smelting. Come back to see how far they got and what they found.
Shipwrecks on a salt coast, a god's head fallen in the ash, a beast frozen in glacier ice. The road is long and it remembers everything.

Wanderer suits players who like idle and incremental progression, persistent worlds, pixel art, gear collections, and games that respect time away. There's no energy bar, no daily chores, no pay-to-win — and no rush: the road will still be there tomorrow. Questions? The FAQ answers the twenty most common, from monetisation to what defeat costs (position, never items).
