They are gone, but you remain

Marked by immunity to magic in a world that prizes it, Wayfarers travelled the continent of Rhesainia, protecting its people from horrifying beasts and enchantments gone awry. But their Order, once strong, is now broken and torn asunder. Their destruction left behind only a handful of survivors still bound by their creed. 

You are one such survivor. 

When your mercenary work backs you into a corner, you take the only option available and accept a contract: to travel to the city of Velantis and steal an ancient artefact. Simple, right? But the city holds far more than you bargained for. Navigate rival factions, meddling guilds, and escalating political tensions as you unravel the mystery at the core of who and what you are, and discover a secret that will shake the foundation of this very world. 


Failure is not the end, it is merely another beginning


The Game

Wayfarer is a dark fantasy interactive fiction game. With the storytelling of a novel, the player choice of an RPG, and the dice mechanics of a tabletop game, it is a unique experience that changes with every playthrough. Create and customize your character, choose your skills, and navigate hundreds of branching choices as you journey through the city of Velantis. 

The game is in development and releases episodically. 

This public release includes the Prologue, Episode 1 & Episode 2.

Over 900,000 words of epic adventure

  • Select from six unique ancestries and five unique origins that will inform your Wayfarer’s background and journey
  • Meet the seven companions who will shape your Wayfarer’s life, cultivate (or destroy) your relationships with them, and perhaps even find love (or pure unadulterated hate)
  • Build or dismantle your rapport with the six factions vying for control of Velantis and determine the city’s fate
  • Engage with skill checks and dice rolls—your successes and failures will shift how the story proceeds
