Wayward is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, all modern web browsers and on most tablet/mobile devices via their corresponding web browsers.
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]].


Stylistically, Wayward hearkens to a 16-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 such as Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft.
