Wilderwake

Wake the Wild

Wilderwake is a 2D pixel-art action-adventure about blooming a dying world back to life. Wake old orchard trees and crush their fruit to make barren ground bloom again, giving animals a place to come home to. Explore an interconnected world of forgotten tunnels and hidden paths, and recover lost gauntlet abilities to reach the secrets you’ve passed along the way.

Rook wakes in a sleep chamber underground, where his uncle hid him when the land grew too sick, handing him one last thing: an old Survey gauntlet. On the surface, crystal void creatures wander where animals once lived, and four great Survey Corps machines are still pulling life from the land. With the gauntlet, Rook has a way to fight them and start putting things back.

Features

• Wake an old orchard tree, gather its fruit, and crush it on dead ground. Grass and flowers grow back around you, animals return, and blooming certain patches uncovers things that were hidden there.

• Your gauntlet floats beside your hand and throws a spinning disc that cuts through crystal creatures. Yank it back through enemies on its return, raise a Ward bubble to catch an attack, or slam down from the air and send Wake lightning along the floor.

• Recover four Survey bearings to grapple across gaps, slip through grates, ride hoist lines, and glide through the air. They give you ways into places you could see but couldn’t reach, so there’s a reason to revisit that tunnel or ledge you passed earlier.

• More than thirty kinds of dino-creature live across the regions, each with its own home. Share your Wake with them to add them to your Echo Log. You might also find a golden Radiant, which appears about once in a hundred.

• Crystal creatures shatter like glass, but the machines draining the land take more work. Each Greatwork has crystal buried at its heart, and you’ll have to survive its attacks long enough to get at it. When it opens, you have only a few seconds to strike.

• Ride lifts, trams, submarines, and balloons between regions, with giant trees and lava mountain, and snowy islands. There’s a temple beneath water and a desert freight town where the old machinery has stopped, with hidden paths to find along the way.

• In twelve resonance rooms, the beam of light you’re redirecting is also the path you need to walk across. Work out how to reach the other side and claim an upgrade for your gauntlet.

• Stop to fish or wake an orchard as day turns to night, then head underground and light your way through caves torch by torch. Above ground, you can catch an eclipse, watch the comet pass, or see a shower of crystal meteors.

  Full controller support includes matching button prompts for Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo pads.
