WANDERLOST
A downloadable game
Venture into the woods.
Find a way out — or stay forever.
The past is a fragment of the present. The present is a fragment of the past. And some things are better left in pieces.
WANDERLOST is a narrative-driven horror puzzle game inspired by classic RPG Maker titles such as The Witch's House, Ib, and Mad Father.
This project was made in a single semester and features an original soundtrack.
"A witch ought never to be frightened in the darkest forest...because she should be sure in her soul that the most terrifying thing in the forest was her."
― Terry Pratchett

Hey, I just tried playing the game, and I really like it so far. However, there seems to be a bug? I can't open the menu once the game starts, so every time I die, I have to restart the whole thing from the intro.
So, I'm a bit late.
But, anyway, to save, you should find the knife and find a tree trunk to save.
A bit late too, but thank you so much! I just finished it, and it is amazing.
You're welcome 😅😅😅
im stuck :(
The game is perfect example of classic horror! Everything is perfect - sounds, BGmusic, colors, text, overall atmosphere is geniunly scary, i love it!
P.S. I always get ending №3 what should i do?
Where do you go after you go in the hole behind the crate??????? Please please TELL ME PLSS I NEED TO KNOW??? and how do you move the dresser????? :( if you tell me I will play more of your games and let ya know and etc! (basically I'm stuck) :)
Also I heard your setting up a walkthrough file? Um, please let me know when it's finished. And just give me a little hint about where i'm stuck that would be great! :)
Hi! Sorry for the late response!
SPOILERS AHEAD
If you've gone through the hole in the wall behind the crate in the storage room, you should encounter Lilian, the witch, in a hallway. After talking with her, she should disappear, and you can progress (moving upward through the hall).
You should find yourself in a very small room with drawers and closets, and a dress in the middle. Looking around should uncover a pair of gloves in one of the drawers.
Once you take them, leave the room and the house. Investigate the well covered in moss, and you should now have a new option to rub away the moss while wearing the gloves.
Entering the well will transport you. Have a look around the map; you'll find an area you are able to progress through that was not available to you before. Lilian should appear to talk with you again. She'll tell you to find her, and though the direction is vague, you'll want to head towards the house.
Thanks for playing! I hope this helps!
Please can you make a walkthrough file? For your biggest fan?XDDD
I don’t know where to go! Where do I go after i go in the hole? Please just tell me! Please!!!🥺
Hi! Sorry for the late response!
To clarify, which do you mean the hole in the ground, or the hole in the storage room wall?
what OS does it run on?
Windows.
Hey there, do you have an email address? Couldn't find any contact info
Hi there! You can reach me at kill2birds.productions@gmail.com or on my Twitter, @Kill2Birds_
This game is absolutely fantastic! It's so reminiscent of the Witch's house (in how everything can kill you and just the all around tense atmosphere.) Visually it's fantastic and I can see so much creativity and passion has gone into it! My only complaint/request would be to release a walkthrough because I'm stuck :'( but I really want to finish the game and see how it ends because I am in love with it.
Wow, thank you so much! I apologize for such a late response — but I'll be posting a walkthrough file ASAP and I hope you decide to revisit it!
Hi!
I just replayed the game, and the good news is I got much father than I did the first time haha!
The bad news is I'm still stuck :(
Could I ask one question to try and progress?
After the path is opened to the shed and the lake, what do I do? I saw a few other comments mentioning a hole behind a crate, but I couldn't find one (unless they mean the hole behind the dresser in the bedroom after the room goes creepy? Which I couldn't figure out how to get to)
This is a super amazing game and I'm really looking forward to hopefully being able to finish it some day! On this playthrough I was particularly impressed with the music. It is delightfully creepy!
As someone who has been making games with rpg maker for a long time, this is Amazing.
Creaing this kind of atmosphere and feel is very difficult with this engine.
The idea to save the game by carving your initial in some Woods is great!
The tileset are also perfect and well made.
Didn't finish it yet because I'm stuck but I will try my best, great game!
Thank you so much! I'm sorry for such a late response — but I really appreciate your comment! The tileset is an edited version of the original provided one, so I cannot take much credit beyond altering them, of course.
I'm finally working on putting up a walkthrough file, too!
good game
Real quick, how long is the game? And does it have multiple endings? Thanks.
Hi there! Approximate playtime is about 1 - 1.5 hours if you're the type to interact/read everything and explore. It does have multiple endings!
