Wandersong Serenades Switch and PC

As I said in my first impression of the game, Wandersong is a happy ray of sunshine the world really needs right now. If I was a doctor, I would prescribe this game to a lot of my friends right now who are sick of the bad news of the world out there right now. Wandersong’s simple, bright colors and hero that uses just his singing instead of any weapons is the perfect antidote to the toxic news cycle.

Wandersong takes you on a whimsical, musical journey across the globe. Eons ago, the goddess Eya put the universe into motion with her music–now, as she does every epoch or so, she’s going to sing a new song and reset existence. You play as a lowly bard tasked with finding the pieces of a mysterious melody called the Earthsong, which is said to be able to preserve the planet. Use your singing to help characters, solve puzzles, and save the world!

To celebrate Wandersong’s September 27th release, you can get yourself a tee shirt and other Wandersong related merchandise at Fangamer or Yetee. I’m sure you’re expecting a game about music to have an excellent soundtrack, and you’re half right. Wandersong has not one but TWO volumes of soundtracks, since you can’t very well fit 147 songs into one volume. There’s even a remix album  tracks from artists like Lena Raine (Celeste), scntfc (Oxenfree, Old Man’s Journey), Alec Holowka (Night in the Woods), Scattle (Hotline Miami) and many many more.

Wandersong was made by Greg Lobanov, inspired by his 5,000 mile bike ride across the United States, successfully Kickstarted, and released on September 27, 2018 for Nintendo Switch and PC. 

A copy of the game was provided to TheButtonSmashers, and we promise to stream or give a quick look of it soon.
