Brewing tea and getting hit with a wave of emotions isn’t something I’d typically expect, yet Wanderstop accomplishes just that—and I’m all for it. If you need a cozy game to dive into this weekend, whether you’re lounging inside or venturing out in the early spring sunshine, Wanderstop is an excellent choice. Plus, it’s on sale for $22.49 on Steam until March 18 as part of the Steam Spring Sale, dropping from its usual price of $24.99.
In Wanderstop, you’ll revel in the delight of cozy activities such as reading books, brewing tea, and sprucing up your charming little shop. However, don’t let the cozy surface fool you; the game’s narrative and design subtly introduce some intriguing complexities. As the storyline unfolds, you’ll encounter themes that delve into burnout, mindfulness, the art of letting go, and working through challenging emotions. If Animal Crossing is that friend who nods along with all your questionable decisions, Wanderstop is like the therapist who gently nudges you to confront and reframe your inner dialogue.
