Strangeland is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Wormwood Studios and published by Wadjet Eye Games. It was released on Steam for Microsoft Windows on May 25, 2021.
Premise
Strangeland is a classic point-and-click adventure that integrates a compelling narrative with engaging puzzles.
Story
You awake in a nightmarish carnival and watch a golden-haired woman hurl herself down a bottomless well for your sake. You seek clues and help from jeering ravens, an eyeless scribe, a living furnace, a mismade mermaid, and many more who dwell within the park. All the while, a shadow shrieks from atop a towering roller-coaster, and you know that until you destroy this Dark Thing, the woman will keep jumping, falling, and dying, over and over again....
Development
For almost a decade, Wormwood Studios has been working on a worthy successor to the fan-acclaimed Primordia, which was released in 2012, and then, their second game, Strangeland, was released in 2021.
Features
- Approximately five hours of gameplay, replayable thanks to different choices, different puzzle solutions, and different endings
- Breathtaking pixel art in twice Primordia's resolution (640x360—party like it's 1999!)
- Dozens of rooms to explore, with variant versions as the carnival grows ever more twisted
- An eccentric cast, including a sideshow freak, a telepathic starfish, an animatronic fortune-teller, and a trio of masqueraders
- Full, professional voice over and hours of original music
- A rich, thematic story about identity, loss, self-doubt, and redemption
- Integrated, in-character hint system (optional, of course)
- Hours of developer commentary and an "annotation mode" (providing on-screen explanations for the references woven throughout the game)
