Wanderhull

A survival base-builder on the back of a giant mech. Need we say more?

Catch and climb a colossal walking machine. Build on its back, descend for what you need, and get aboard before the mech moves on without you.

Meet the mech

Meet your new home and companion.

His mission is to walk. Yours is to survive.

The survival loop

An unlikely partnership.

He carries you forward. You keep him going. Leave the mech to gather supplies, return before he gets too far away, and use what you find to maintain your moving home.

  1. 01

    Leave

    Step off the only shelter you own and let the machine walk on without you.

  2. 02

    Gather

    Take what the biome will give you, then decide what is worth carrying back.

  3. 03

    Return

    Read its gait, find a route upward and reboard before distance becomes permanent.

  4. 04

    Build

    Turn salvage into a foothold: somewhere to recover, prepare and look ahead.

  5. 05

    Cross

    Wake beneath a different sky, where the next horizon changes the survival problem.

Base building

Build your base on the mech.

We’re exploring how players can build shelter, store supplies and make equipment on the mech’s back. These are the planned functions of your base.

01

Habitation

Shelter for resting and recovering between trips to the ground.

02

Storage

Store the supplies and materials you bring back from each expedition.

03

Fabrication

Use gathered materials to make equipment and improve your base.

04

Observation

Survey the terrain ahead and plan where to gather supplies.

Environmental direction studies

Explore different environments.

Generated environment concepts exploring the planned biomes. Not gameplay screenshots.
