Wayfarer

Marked by complete magical immunity, Wayfarers wander the world, fighting magic. Where will your fate lead you? · By Idrelle Games

Question for a future update.

Will a guide for stats be created to help with certain situations in the future gameplay? I don’t like too much trial and error at times, and I end up feeling mostly frustrated. It would be appreciated if the idea of a game guide is considered for the future, not only to avoid frustration in certain scenes, but also to enjoy the game’s story for those who want to play peacefully. <3

Hello! Thanks so much for checking out the game! 💖

There are currently no official guides and I will not be making them as I do not have the time or the resources to do so while Wayfarer is in development. 

Wayfarer is not a typical RPG in how it handles success and failure--failure is not a punishment, simply another path through the story. There is no game over; your choices will not lead to your pre-mature death. The gameplay is not about good routes vs bad routes, good endings vs bad endings, wrong choices vs right choices, or maximizing the path you are on for the "best" version (what is "best" is going to vary wildly from player to player, and the game is designed to have a high replay value so there will be small variances on every playthrough). The gameplay is about the journey and where your choices take you, even when events spin out of control; it is about seeing what happens next, not deciding the result you want and trying to achieve it.  There are hundreds of choices that impact each other in a domino effect, which gets even more complex with stat checks involved. When approaching this game, you may need to reconfigure how you see failure, character relationship, and faction relationship progression. 

If you are frustrated, it could be that this style of gameplay is not for you. But if you do want a guide or if you are replaying and trying to replicate your path, the best place to ask is other players (or members of the playtesting team) in  Wayfarer's Discord server. There are many people who are more than happy to give guidance about how to replicate certain events, or if you are chasing a particular result.
