Wayward is a challenging turn-based, top-down, [[Wilderness Survival|wilderness survival]] roguelike.


'''Wayward''' is a browser-based, turn-based, graphical roguelike currently in alpha. It is currently supported and will work in the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari.
In Wayward, there is a large focus on simulation, exploration, and discovery. There are no classes; there are no levels. Progression of your character depends on individual skill and stat gains by your interactions with items or objects in the world. You are free to play and explore the game in any fashion you wish.


Stylistically, Wayward hearkens to an 8-bit aesthetic in graphics and in sound. Game mechanics wise, the game is similar to the Ultima series, more specifically, Ultima Online with inspiration from other roguelikes and roguelikelikes.
Wayward is a traditional roguelike, meaning it has random environment generation, (optional) [[Permadeath|permadeath]], turn-based gameplay, grid-based movement, complexity, non-modal interactions, resource/inventory management, and more. As such, Wayward is similar to games like [[UnReal World]], [[CataclysmDDA|Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead]], or [[Dwarf Fortress]].
