I know Patrick has a lot on at the moment but at some point I'd really like another @northamericans.bsky.social LP. They really do make the loveliest sound. northamericanszone.bandcamp.com/track/classi...

Here’s some unique news: my music has been added to the library of congress www.npr.org/2025/04/09/n...

I'm thrilled to announce that the SECOND Wanderstop album by @c418.org is out now! This one is called Wanderstop FM, and it's a collection of all the music that plays on the shop's radio. It clocks in at over 2 hours of original music (in addition to the 3 hours of the main OST)

It's been almost one full week of tea, pluffins, and reflection! We've enjoyed all of the fanart, kind words, video clips, livestreams, articles, and even cosplay (!!) thus far ~ and, of course, we look forward to enjoying even more this weekend. THANK YOU to everyone who's played Wanderstop! 🍵

I reviewed Wanderstop, and it was a brilliant, utterly charming contemplation. As refreshing as a good cup of tea with your best mate. Quite proud of this one. If you’d give it a read 😊 www.gamingbible.com/reviews/wand...

hello! i reviewed Wanderstop and it was a banger www.theguardian.com/games/2025/m...

"I believe that any game that is able to make me feel and think about such topics and self reflect on my own experiences so deeply is something truly special..." The GSC review of Wanderstop. Review:

I love political games

Barely wrapping my head around releasing Wanderstop but couldn’t be more proud of my main man / powerhouse of a pal @c418.org on his incredible score (and every bit of audio in the game) - it’s a true opus across the board. Legend.

9/10 from IGN, thank you 🙏 www.ign.com/articles/wan...

Play Wanderstop.

I had a lovely time chatting with The Verge about the process of getting Wanderstop made! Thanks @lewisgordon.bsky.social for this writeup.

“This game took so fucking long that cozy game is now like a swear word.” For @theverge.com, I talked with Davey Wreden aka @hellocakebread.bsky.social about Wanderstop, burnout, and what it means to pour your entire self into your games. www.theverge.com/games/627549...

I cannot believe I'm actually writing these words: Wanderstop is OUT NOW!! Although it's difficult to communicate just how meaningful this moment is to me, I've done my best to put my thoughts into a personal note. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the game 💖

Alta would want us to share that we are currently at the top of Steam's New & Trending 😤🎉 Alta would ALSO want us to share that the best way to help out a game when it launches is to leave a Steam Review if you've spent time with it! Share your thoughts, fave teas, and if we made you cry (sorry)

WANDERSTOP IS OUT NOW www.wanderstopgame.com

The shop is open, the tea is ready. Are you? 🍵 Join Alta's journey in Wanderstop, available now on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox! bit.ly/WanderstopOu...

today, robin bea has a lovely review of wanderstop today and how it conveys the perfect fantasy of a barista job, doing work for work's sake for customers who aren't very mean or derisive www.inverse.com/gaming/wande...

Wanderstop is one of the most important video games of our time. The way it succinctly portrays burnout head-on unlike any other piece of media is exceptional. Here's my full review. Read: seasonedgaming.com/2025/03/10/r... Watch: youtu.be/Ukq3PjKp0tw?...

Wanderstop is so much more than just brewing tea — but that part’s good, too
