    Accidental Cult Member WanderersTip: Sneak, Blend, Decide Their Fate!

    You didn’t mean to join a cult — but now you’re in too deep! Developer CuriousQuestor is thrilled to unveil WanderersTip, a charmingly quirky stealth adventure where you stumble into a secretive island group obsessed with being “happy ducks,” and your choices will shape everything — from your escape to the cult’s very survival.

    What Is WanderersTip?

    It starts with a wrong turn and ends with you fully initiated — mostly by accident. Stranded on a mysterious island, you find yourself swept into a cult that takes ducks very seriously. Your goal? Earn your way onto the only boat off the island — all while figuring out what’s really going on behind the cheerful chants and feathered fanaticism.

    Here’s how it plays:

    • Blend in with the flock — act as if you belong, or suspicion grows fast
    • Stealth through twisting mazes — stay out of sight, use cover, watch patrol patterns
    • Smart enemies — foes remember faces and talk to each other; get spotted once, word spreads
    • Fight or flee — when stealth fails, stand your ground or duck for cover
    • Your choices decide everything — help the cult thrive? Expose their secrets? Lead them astray? Multiple endings mean no two journeys are the same

As you explore, you’ll uncover layers — and face decisions that go far beyond simply “escape or stay.” Will you become their most loyal follower? Their greatest downfall? Or something in between?

    Point-and-click adventure fans, rejoice! Indie developer Tag of Joy and publisher Headup have officially announced the next chapter in their acclaimed adventure series: Crowns and Pawns: Amber Road.

    Revealed as part of Telltale’s “Choices Matter Festival” on Steam, this new entry promises to take players on a continent-spanning road trip across Europe to uncover ancient secrets, unravel Baltic mythology, and clear a wrongly accused protagonist’s name.

    A High-Stakes Mystery Across Europe

    The story of Crowns and Pawns: Amber Road kicks off with a dramatic twist. Main protagonist Milda Kovas finds herself accused of stealing a unique, powerful amber artefact known as the Sun Stone.

    Legend has it that fragments of this colossal amber piece were scattered along the historic Amber Road. If someone were to collect all the pieces, they would gain access to terrifying arcane powers. Determined to clear her name and discover the truth, Milda sets out from Lithuania on a thrilling road adventure.

    Her journey will take her and her companions from the Baltics in Northern Europe all the way to the Mediterranean, exploring iconic locations throughout Lithuania, Austria, Italy, and beyond.

    What to Expect: Key Features

    Tag of Joy is building on everything that made the first game a critical darling while levelling up the experience for modern adventure gamers:

    • Rich Baltic Lore & History: A captivating narrative that seamlessly weaves ancient Baltic myths and legends together with real European history and historical figures.
    • Star-Studded Voice Cast: Features a vibrant mix of new and returning characters, fully voiced by industry veterans known for their work on Monkey Island, Oxenfree, The Wolf Among Us, God of War, and Unforeseen Incidents.
    • Clever, Flexible Puzzling: Expect classic point-and-click gameplay where you collect items, combine inventory pieces, solve environmental riddles, and engage in witty dialogue.
    • Character Customisation: Personalise Milda’s look to your liking—which might even come in handy for solving a few clever puzzles!
    • Stunning Visuals & Audio: Gorgeous hand-painted 4K background art brought to life with modern graphical effects, accompanied by an original soundtrack composed by Daniel Pharos (A New Beginning, Memoria).
    • Cross-Platform Controls: Smooth controls tailored for both mouse-and-keyboard purists and gamepad players alike.
