Wanderer’s themes explore historical, futuristic and post-apocalyptic settings while discovering bygone eras including ancient civilisations, war times, the highly contested space race, and the hippie-cultured 60s.
It’s not all just the heavy stuff though! In between saving mankind (no pressure) Wanderer delivers the best in virtual reality fun with mini games and activities to explore – why not race an RC car around the moon for an out of this world experience or try your hand at the drums for a psychedelic 60s buzz. Some of these might even lead to cracking the code in solving a few tricky puzzles.
