Description
Wayward is a "choose your own adventure" style of game where you race to collect the most gold before the guards sound the alarm and try to trap you in the dungeon forever! There are many ways to collect gold, such as battling in the fighting pit, stealing from the king's treasure room, digging up graves, or slugging your way through the bar brawl. Avoid the river squid or he may take your items! The risks you take can pay off with great rewards - or losses. Items you pick up help you push past guards, pass through hazards, open locked doors, and increase your luck at collecting treasure. See if you can discover the best path to winning the game and escaping the dungeon!
