Hi, gamers from all around the world! We're excited to announce our End of Spring Event here on Steam. We've discounted some of our greatest titles as part of this celebration, including an action-adventure game "LIBERATED" and a horror visual novel based on the tabletop RPG system - "Werewolf: The Apocalypse Heart of the Forest". If you already have some of our titles in your Steam library you can purchase the rest with an additional 10% discount, so it's a great opportunity to complete your games collection. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/21911/Walkabout_Collection/ For the owners of the Steam Deck we have some great news, as of lately Liberated officially supports the platform thanks to the device's Proton tool, but as we know from some really cool sources at Kotaku - Werewolf: The Apocalypse Heart of the Forest and the Wanderlust series are highly playable as well thanks to the device's touchscreen controls and full support for the Linux platform. They're great to experience on the go, and from the comfort of your bed ;)
gif source: kotaku.com As part of the celebration, we'd also love to ask you to share your best moments from one of our games - make a screenshot, a fanart, or maybe even show your cosplay of one of our characters! We're waiting for your creations! Share it on social media of your choice and add #WalkaboutGames or tag us at @Walkabout_Games on Twitter or @WalkaboutGames on Facebook. We can't wait to see your creativity in action!
Here's the Liberated game producer and music composer - Robert, while trying out the game's cosplay. Let us know what you think - hot or not? ;) Let's celebrate this end of spring together, Walkabout Games Team
The event ends on June 6th at 10 AM PST / 7 PM CET.

Hello, our wonderful travelers from all around the world! Wanderlust was created as an experience you can enjoy wherever you are. You can play this game while sitting in front of your desktop's monitor while sipping a hot tea during rainy weather or enjoy it on your laptop or tablet while relaxing in a backyard on a sunny day. You can take this experience with you on the road, and jump to new adventurers and their adventures while riding a train or flying a plane. We hope that if you haven't our games already you will give them a chance now, as we've prepared a great promo for everyone. During our "Travel Sale" you can purchase Wanderlust: Travel Stories, its great soundtrack, and an additional standalone game Wanderlust: Transsiberian, with a limited discount of 80% until 20th May. Let the journey change you! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1051410/Wanderlust_Travel_Stories/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1224190/Wanderlust_Travel_Stories_Soundtrack/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1233420/Wanderlust_Transsiberian/ Yours truly, Different Tales team

As part of our celebration for Valentine's Day, we've decided to launch a very special discount for Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest. [previewyoutube=rbcWM3N2mM8;full][/previewyoutube] The game is now available with 66% off, so you could purchase it for yourself, your Steam friends, or even your special half, with a special discount from us.

• Heart of the Forest improves the visual novel formula of the Wanderlust series. Different Tales studio wanted to tell another important story from the real world that's worth telling and suited it up in the lore of the known and respectable RPG universe.
• It's a great treat for those who love World of Darkness pen-and-paper RPGs and videogames based on it - if you already know other ones like "Vampire: The Masquerade" or "Wraith: The Oblivion", you will definitely enjoy "Werewolf: The Apocalypse" and our take on it.
• If you know someone who's a fan of horrors, thrillers, and other scary themes (not only during Halloween season), then this game will especially be well received.
• And if you already played Heart of the Forest or its demo, then you know that we do not need to recommend it you no more ;)

What do you do in your country around Halloween? Here in Poland (where our Different Tales studio is located on November 1, we celebrate All Saints' Day, which is a public holiday. Its name is self-explanatory, however, on November 2, there's All Souls' Day. This is the proper date when we should honor the departed. These two have mixed in the public consciousness and what we got is two days of not-quite-Halloween. For a person from outside the Slavic region, the Poles' traditional approach to faith and death may seem a bit stiff. We don't sing too many uplifting songs in our churches, and the mass is less about being with the community than about diving into your inner self and quietly contemplating your soul. This is also how we honor our dead. Let us know your traditions in the comments and enjoy this little discount "treat" for the entire Wanderlust series collection and the game itself: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/14072/Wanderlust_Travel_Stories_Collection/ Follow Different Tales:

Exactly one year ago, we've released the very first Werewolf: The Apocalypse video game in history! Now - one year later, we can honestly say that we couldn't be happier about the influence the game created. Not only did the Different Tales team won one of the most important cultural awards in Poland - Paszporty Polityki, as well as the Best Game Design Award at the Dev.Play 2020 Digital Awards, but the game gained such a great reaction and feedback from you - the players, which we couldn't even imagine. [previewyoutube=rbcWM3N2mM8;full][/previewyoutube] The project itself was super important and personal for the Different Tales team, as the game writer Marta Malinowska said during the speech at the Paszporty Polityki Awards: This is a game about rage, and about turning it into something good. I want to dedicate it to all the people who took their anger this year, took to the streets, and decided to do something about the surrounding reality.
During this year, we have been improving the game experience for the PC players - we've released a free goodies pack here on Steam, and later on added the support for the Steam badges, backgrounds, trading cards, and emojis. At the beginning of this year, we've released the game for the console players on Nintendo Switch, Playstation, and Xbox platforms... and maybe in the future, there will come another platform the game could be released on ;)
We're also super happy that after the release of Heart of the Forest so many players got the ability to know more about "Werewolf: The Apocalypse" from the World of Darkness. With the release of "Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood" game, "World of Darkness: Crimson Thaw" comic (did you heard about it? It looks super cool!), and soon the release of fifth edition of the tabletop RPG - we're sure the different flavors of each will make its fans and expand the imagination of another generation around the whole world. Thank you for playing, Different Tales and Walkabout Games https://store.steampowered.com/app/1342620/Werewolf_The_Apocalypse__Heart_of_the_Forest/

In a way, it's a spiritual successor to the Wanderlust series. It takes the formula, adds tabletop RPG mechanics, and takes the visual novel genre to the next level, bringing it as closely as possible to a pen-and-paper RPG session for a single player.

It's finally here! The reveal trailer for Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest, a game set in the World of Darkness that we're working on right now. Enjoy! [previewyoutube=aQ7CulMwjHk;full][/previewyoutube] With HotF, we're aiming to give you that special feeling of taking part in a classic pen-and-paper role-playing session. There are many games that take some the core mechanics and put it inside a game, but we want to stay more faithful to the entire experience. We're taking an approach that's more suggestive than literal. Werewolf: The Apocalypse Heart of the Forest takes place in the modern times, in the last primeval forest in Europe. It's a real place called Puszcza Biaowieska. There are many legends surrounding it, and many of them found their way into our game. You'll explore them as Maia, a young woman looking to uncover the mysteries of her family. She doesn't expect to find herself right in the middle of an ancient conflict between supernatural forces... Heart of the Forest will launch in Q4 2020. We can't wait to let you play it! You can wishlist and follow the game below. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1342620/Werewolf_The_Apocalypse__Heart_of_the_Forest/

Wanderlust Travel Stories has won the Graczpospolita Award for the Best Polish Mobile Game of 2019!

What are the Graczpospolita Awards?

The article was originally posted on Gamasutra by Artur, our game designer. We knew from the very beginning that we wanted to have a marine tale in Wanderlust Travel Stories, and we even wrote a draft of a chapter set in the Caribbean. Then, in October 2018, Mateusz Kubik, who was a researcher in our team and a skipper, sailed to the Antarctic on a brave steel ketch named Selma. He came back with a detailed account of his journey and a few memory cards worth of photographs, and we knew that our protagonists were heading towards much colder waters.

Summary

Dear Wanderers, For many people around the world, Christmas is a special time of the year. However, unlike in most countries, in Poland, we start celebrating today, on Christmas Eve. Right about now Polish families are having their festive supper after a day of fasting. When they finish, kids will start unwrapping their presents. That's right, we don't wait until the morning!
During the supper, it's often a point of the discussion who actually brings the gifts. For some, it isn't Santa, as we celebrate the St. Nicholas's Day on December 6. Different regions of Poland traditionally have a different gifter: the Angel, the Christmas Star, Father Christmas (more accurately translated as 'Grandpa Frost') or even Baby Jesus himself. What's common across the country is the fact that the Christmas Eve supper should include 12 dishes, although the specifics vary from family to family. We decided to take a poll and see what are the most common and uncommon delicacies among our team.
Most of us enjoy fried carp, herring in various forms, sauerkraut with mushrooms, borsch with dumplings and stewed dried fruit. Also quite popular are the mushroom soup and sauerkraut with dried peas. At the same time, there are lots of family-specific dishes. These include fish soup, dumplings, poppy seed dish or cake, salads, gingerbread or fruitcake. One very specific snack is a Silesian dessert called moczkaa thick pulp made mostly with gingerbread, prunes, raisins, and nuts. It's prepared on some kind of a liquid base, which today is usually dried fruit soup or beer; however, the traditional recipe calls for... fish soup. It's amazing how similar yet different are our Christmas traditions. Their variety reminds us that if people are so different and interesting within a single country, we can't begin to imagine how beautifully diverse the world really is. We'd love it if you shared your traditions with us. Wherever you are, and whether you celebrate Christmas or not, let us wish you all the best. The Wanderlust Team

Hey there Wanderers, both experienced and new!

Hey Wanderers! We are back from Vilnius, Lithuania with the Baltic Sea Games Award for BEST GAME NARRATIVE! Were delighted to have won it. Wanderlust Travel Stories was written by an ensemble of authors, and the tales themselves are quite unique and intimate, inspired by real journeys weve taken. Weve always hoped that the players would also have a personal and meaningful experience with the game. This prize shows that our wish might very well come true. Wed like to thank Baltic Game Industry, the founder of Baltic Sea Game Awards, for the recognition. Its been fun and exciting to compete. The Wanderlust Team

Ahoy Wanderers! For the past few weeks we've been busy working on what's become the New Beginnings Update, which is now available on Steam and other platforms. As the name suggests, it's about new start to the journey. The essence of Wanderlust Travel Stories is the connection between you and the characters you play as. We were thrilled to see this bond forming in so many of you. However, we've also noticed that there was some uncertainty regarding the player's place in the introduction to the game. That's why we've refreshed and revamped the opening. The beginning now gives you a better idea of who you are and what role you play within the overarching story. This change is meant for everyone whos about to take the first step in the adventure, so dont feel pressured into restarting the game if youre already halfway to Antarctica or Thailand. At this point youre probably already comfortable in the shoes of Henrietta, Adilia, Tomek or Martine. You wont miss anything crucial for the experience. On top of that, we've fixed some minor issues with cloud saving and achievements, and made a couple of tweaks to make the tales flow even better. With all of these changes in place, take the helm and once again sail into the world of Wanderlust. Oh, and if you encounter any problems, remember that you can always reach us at support@differenttales.com. Until next time! Wanderlust Crew https://store.steampowered.com/app/1051410/Wanderlust_Travel_Stories/

Dear Wanderers, Listening to your feedback we revamped the beginning of the game and made some of the underlying mechanics more clear.

Happy Halloween!

Here's something from Artur, our lead writer. I've been into Slow Gaming for quite a while and Wanderlust Travel Stories is the result of that. But it's not the only Slow title out there. Recently at Games Industry Conference 2019, I hosted a roundtable about Slow Gaming. Along with the guests and the audience we tried to define what Slow Games actually are, and how voluminous this genre really is. At one point someone proposed that we go through our Steam libraries and tag all appropriate games with "Slow Gaming". I think this is a great idea. It should make it easier to establish Slow Games as a genre, and help everyone find interesting titles. So, are you up for it? Here's the broad definition of Slow Gaming: it's a trend in game design that's about challenging your mind instead of your reflexes. Slow Games treat you as a mature person and aren't afraid to touch upon real world issues. They let you play at your own pace, and action isn't their point. If a title fits this description, it's a Slow Game alright, despite of its genre. Journey is as much a Slow Game as Wanderlust Travel Stories or Firewatch. At least I think so. Do you? If you have a moment to spare, go through your Steam Library and tag whatever game you deem appropriate with "Slow Gaming". Also, post your findings on social media using the tag #SlowGaming to spread the news. "Slow" doesn't mean "Quiet" after all! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1051410/Wanderlust_Travel_Stories/

Wanderlust Travel Stories is now available on Linux!

Artur Ganszyniec, writer/designer from Different Tales, the studio behind Wanderlust Travel Stories, hosted a roundtable discussion about Slow Gaming at Game Industry Conference 2019. Slow Gaming is a trend in gaming that values thinking and feeling over adrenaline-fueled gameplay, but it's a young construct that's still taking shape. Thus, the main topic of the discussion was the question of whether Slow Gaming is primarily a way of playing games or a design philosophy. The participants also talked about various Slow Games, trying to find their common traits: the serious treatment of the player, no hard fail states, real-world setting, or referring to the player's life experiences or knowledge. An interesting point was made that even though Slow Games are serious and often touch upon heavy subjects, they offer the player safety and comfort. They encourage to explore one's own emotions in a way that's rare for adrenaline-fueled games. "I have to admit I didn't know if the subject would click at all with the audience, but to my surprise, it gathered quite a crowd: from designers to gamers to producers to researchers," said Artur Ganszyniec. The participants of the meeting agreed to go through their Steam game collections and tag the games they seem fit with #SlowGaming. Join us and help the Slow and help us define what Slow Gaming really is! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1051410/Wanderlust_Travel_Stories/

Dear Wanderers, Our very first feature patchUpdate 1.4is live, and it's the Steamworks update! In this build we've added support for Steam Achievements, so that you can better track your progress and journeys. Perhaps the real travel stories are the achievements we earn along the way. Steam Cloud Saves are here as well, so you can now pause your travels on one device, and pick up where you left off on another. Because who brings their gaming rig on a road trip? Not you. Not anymore. Yours truly, Wanderlust Crew https://store.steampowered.com/app/1051410/Wanderlust_Travel_Stories/

Wanderlust Travel Stories premiered on 26 September 2019, with some journalists being able to preview the game before the release. Heres what the press - and not only the gaming press! -- thought about the game. Wanderlust is an unusual and bold concept of a game based on the literature of the road. The courage of the artists, who created a game consisting mostly of text, deserves admiration. And recognition, too, because Wanderlust is simply a really good game. - said a reviewer from Gamepressure.com, awarding Wanderlust with a high 8.5/10 score. The Pixel Magazine gave Wanderlust a score of 83/100 and a seal of recommendation: Wanderlust is a story about a couple of westerners who gradually come to realize how little do they know about the world and how to correct whatever is wrong with it. Such a serious, at times even journalistic tone is very rare in video games. Gry.wp.pl also praised the title: Id like Wanderlust Travel Stories to achieve the status of other acclaimed Polish games, like This War of Mine. On one hand, it can be harder, because there are fewer game elements inhere. But on the other, it can find success among the people who have been avoiding games due to their lack of skill or fear of failing.
Wanderlust Travel Stories got 9/10 from the South African SAGamer: It isnt easy to capture how overwhelming and complicated and fraught with tension travelling can be, but Wanderlust does a great job of showcasing the essence of it, and the transformative power travelling can have. One of the first non-gaming magazines to notice Wanderlust was National Geographic Traveler Poland: Its something we havent seen before in Poland. A sign of a new trend calls Slow Gaming. Its shaping up to be one heck of an adventure. Filmweb, a movie website, also reviewed the game: Ive tried to make choices true to my own temperament, heart, and mind, and indeed I was back with my thoughts to Bangkok, which I visited a couple of years ago. Its atmosphere was well recreated, and well-written descriptions -- although sometimes cheesy -- were accurate and true.
The game was also covered by Vogue: its creators have gone towards the expectations of new groups, such as women (who, according to studies, prefer a psychological view of the world), book readers, travelers or mature gamers who grew out of games for teens and want to widen their horizons. Wanderlust was also featured in an article in Gazeta Wyborcza, the top newspaper in Poland, about the role of games in dealing with PTSD. One of the games stories takes the players to Rwanda, where the memories of the civil war and the Tutsi genocide are still very much alive. See what you feel about Wanderlust Travel Stories. The game is now available on PC, iOS and Mac. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1051410/Wanderlust_Travel_Stories/

The booth presenting Wanderlust Travel Stories, a small indie game about real-world globetrotting, got a surprising amount of attention at PAX West 2019 in Seattle. Wanderlust is a game unlike any other: bridging literature and gaming, it makes the player both the reader and the storyteller. Featuring 4 long and 5 short stories, it lets you travel from Africa to Antarctica, from Europe to Asia, making meaningful choices and changing the characters' perspectives.
During PAX West 2019, Wanderlust got a lot of attention from visitors, most of whom took time to play through the entire long demo of the game. The average play time was 25 minutes. "It was great to see people choosing to stay with us for so long when there were hundreds of other games to see. We were surprised to discover that even teens took interest in Wanderlust, a game focused on something else than fast-paced action. We even had a mother reading our game to her 5-year-old daugher," recollects Piotr Gnyp from Walkabout, the publisher of Wanderlust Travel Stories.
The game will premiere on 26 September 2019, on PC and iOS devices. Learn more and play the demo at https://wanderlust.voyage. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1051410/Wanderlust_Travel_Stories/

Hey, Im Jacek. You mightve seen my name in the credits for The Witcher 1. Games have been a big part of my life, but whenever I dont make them, I travel the world (110 countries and counting!). During one of these journeys, I thought: is there a single game that tries to simulate what Im feeling right now? I didnt think so. This was the moment when the idea for Wanderlust Travel Stories started to sprout. Traveling is about excitement and discovery, but theres also this sense of longing, and sometimes uncertainty about what awaits you. I asked my friends, who also travel a lot, if theyd like to make a game that would channel these emotions, and they agreed!
The game takes you on 9 globetrotting journeys, telling 4 long and 5 short stories of life-changing travels. Youll visit such inspiring countries as Bangladesh, Congo, Argentina, Thailand, France, Spain and even Antarctica. You wont have to hurry. You wont have to fight. This isnt about a rush of adrenaline. This is about taking in the beauty of the real world. Its what we call slow gaming. We like to say that Wanderlust is the sum of who we are. It was inspired by what we felt during our journeys, and what they mean to us today.
The gameplay is a mix of literature and gaming. You are the reader and the storyteller. You meet the protagonists and learn their motivations and goals. By making choices you shape their journeys. What to pack? Which route to take? What to say to the stranger you just met? What to buy so you still have money for the rest of the trip? And most of all: how does this make you feel? What you decide also makes the traveler change their world views. Every journey ends with your character becoming an internally richer person.
I realize this isnt a title for everyone. We want it to be the game you play when youre traveling -- or wish that you were. Even though I love traditional games, I wanted to create something different, personal and meaningful. Thats why we say that this game is us: Marta, Karolina, Joanna, Mateusz, Artur and I. We hope youll enjoy it. Bon voyage!

Dear fans! Were absolutely thrilled to let you now that our game has received 2 awards for the Community Vote and Best Mobile Indie Game during this years Digital Dragons Indie Showcase! We wish to thank everyone who made it possible. Congrats to other winners as well!
