Description

Wilderplace is a puzzle-adventure game set within the Divine Garden, an idyllic creation of the gods that has plunged into chaos and conflict. You play as a shaman, tasked with restoring order through your magical abilities. Explore the maze-like environment, harness magical artifacts, and uncover mysteries as you wrangle restless spirits and evade dangerous intruders.

History

Wilderplace was created by Saman Bemel Benrud, with the help of friends Micah Fitch and Tom Lubanovic. Development started in 2019 as an indie side project and turned into a full-time endeavor in 2021.
