Eco-conscious village builderThe Wandering Villagesees you raising a settlement on the back of a huge wandering creature called Onbu. For the most part, you live in a symbiotic relationship with this gentle giant, as your villagers keep the gargantuan trundlesaur healthy while being ferried about on its back. Awww. Well, the wholesome city-builder now lets you feed villagers to the creature and start a cult in the great devourer’s name. Okay. Why not?
“75% of this crazy community voted Yes on the option to feed villagers to Onbu,” say developers Stray Fawn Studio in an update post. “Not only does this fill up Onbu’s belly, but it also terrifies your villagers so much that they will stop revolting and start seeing Onbu as a divine being. They will then demand more sacrifices to Onbu, or become more and more unhappy with each level of the cult.”
You can see the full list of changes inthe patch notes for the update. Again, it’s on the “testing” branch for now. But that post will tell you how to access that.
Rachel thought Onbu was a big ol' beaut in herearly access review of The Wandering Village, calling it “a top-tier management sim” despite its familiar elements. It’s still in early access but the game has added a fair amount since then, includingoceans for your powerful pal to paddle uponand a trade post building to add some depth to gathering resources.
The planet surface that Onbu walks upon is often toxic and inhospitable (hence the back-dwelling). But it is possible that this landscape is itself part of another, bigger Onbu. This is what I choose to believe. It’s Onbus all the way down.
