We see the word ‘Annapurna’. We get excited. We play game. We pretty much always like it. That is the way with any game from Annapurna Interactive, who continually put out excellent titles like What Remains of Edith Finch, Kentucky Route Zero, and COCOON. Well, their next title – Wanderstop – is now available to play.
Brew a Cuppa
Developed by Ivy Road (in their first game, no less) and published by Annapurna Interactive, Wanderstop is now available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Another in a long line of cosy games that have been released in recent years.
What’s more, you’ll be making a farm full of the ingredients needed to make tea of all different kinds, before tending to the needs of your many customers. Can you get any more cosy?!
You’ll also need to tidy up your tea shop, as well as decorate it exactly how you see fit. Lots of jobs to do, so make sure you get them done in order to see the money roll on in!
Wanderstop Key Features
- Brew tea – Wanderstop is a tea shop management ritual. Grow and harvest the ingredients needed for tea, and then mix them together in an unusual tea-making contraption. Along the way, speak with the many travelers who pass through the shop, learn their stories and make tea that’s just right for them.
- Keep shop – In your downtime, you might tidy up around the clearing, decorate the shop in your style, or just sit on a bench with a cup of tea and listen to your own thoughts. Maybe doing nothing at all is okay. The shop demands patience, it rejects those who have come only in the pursuit of growth unchecked.
- Stop running – And that’s why Alta can’t be here. It’s why she’ll never make it. This isn’t who she is. No, she’s a fighter! Why would anyone insist on turning the world’s greatest championship warrior into a docile shopkeeper? With everything she’s capable of?! No no no, she won’t, she won’t do it… she can’t…
The Doors Are Open!
Wanderstop is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC. You can pick up a copy of the game via the Xbox Store for £19.24.

Wanderstop Game Description
Wanderstop is a narrative-centric cozy game about change and tea. Playing as a fallen fighter named Alta, you’ll manage a tea shop within a magical forest and tend to the customers who pass through. But Alta does not want to be here. And if she gets her way, the tea shop will be nothing but a brief and painful memory.
