Wayward: Choose Your Path

Your mentor vanished inside a mountain. Her last words to you: don’t follow me. Wayward is a library of illustrated adventure books in which you decide what happens next. Every page ends with a choice, and every choice turns you to a different page. Some roads lead to glory. Others lead to the bottom of a well. FOUR BOOKS ON THE SHELF Every book starts with free endings: 8 in Book I, 4 in each of the others. BOOK I · THE HOLLOW MOUNTAIN Follow the royal cartographer Edda Marlow to Mount Veyra, a mountain that appears on no map. Wander through a village where every lantern has the same dent, a hall with a lantern for every name, and a black river that returns everything it takes. • 49 pages, 19 endings, two of them true endings, and 12 hidden relics BOOK II · THE DROWNED LIGHTHOUSE Every night at two, a lighthouse that sank a hundred years ago switches on beneath the sea. Edda’s trail leads you to Grey Harbour, a ledger that never balances, and a ship that is still trying to come home. • 49 pages, 19 endings, two of them true endings, and 14 hidden relics BOOK III · STATION NINE Nobody crosses the Iron Pass under their own name. At Hollin Junction you hand yours in and board the Eastern Express with a borrowed one, holding a ticket with no name on it at all. Somewhere between the stops, someone has already crossed under yours. A daytime mystery on a train where every passenger is lying, you included. • 49 pages, 18 endings, two of them true endings, and 15 hidden relics BOOK IV · ASH & ORCHID Forty days ago the sea boiled and a black island rose south of the Salt Coast. On its warm ash grows a flower worth a house, and three expeditions race to pick it. You are the mapmaker, and nothing here has a name yet: what you draw, and what you leave off, decides who owns the rest. Seven days on an island that has not made up its mind. • 49 pages, 19 endings, two of them true endings, and 14 hidden relics A BOOK THAT COMES ALIVE • An old leather-bound book with pages you turn yourself, set inside moving, illustrated scenes • Mist, sea spray, ash or stardust that rolls off the page and drifts away around your fingers • Interactive moments: wipe a misted window, raise your lantern in the dark, draw a bridge across the void, pull the bell rope • Now and then the world stirs: water drips onto the page, eyes open in the dark • Timed choices: hesitate too long and the fog chooses for you • Music and recorded sound for every place you visit, and text that appears at reading pace SECRETS IN THE MARGINS • Hidden relics in every book, tucked into the text and the scenery, each with its own piece of lore • Secret choices that only appear once you know enough • A map of every path you have taken, and the ones still in the fog • Keep a finger between the pages and go back to any choice READ YOUR WAY • English and Dutch, switch whenever you like • Adjustable text speed, music and sound effects • Reading works completely offline, no account needed • Free endings in every book, and new pages open up every day.
