Game Features
A Mystical Retro-SF World
Take off to a wild, uncharted planet where the atmosphere of classic comics blends with sci-fi madness! Discover peculiar yet endearing creatures, strange alien ruins, and whimsically designed temples. Search for rare items, unlock bizarre gear, and build your dream base among the stars. Each world is procedurally generated, ensuring an adventure uniquely yours!
Creative and Diverse Crafting
You can reclaim lakes to create roads, plant alien trees, and bring back unusual decorations to shape your preferred environment. Build from cozy wooden cabins to refined stone homes or industrial tech-inspired structures—choose any style you like! Use the capsule printer to construct purposeful facilities for friendly NPCs.
Survive Your Way
Wonderia focuses on creating a relaxing yet enjoyable survival experience. You can swing around giant dried fish, forge metal armor… raise alien pigs while farming and cooking. Or even transform into a mighty spirit of a colossal tree. Your survival style is entirely up to you.
Charming NPCs and Light-Hearted Storytelling
Although the quest and NPC systems are still under development in this demo, a gentle story guide assists your journey through the open world. Join forces with cheerful characters like a rock music collector, an energetic trader, or a shy hairstylist—each adding laughter and friendship to your adventure.
