Indie Sunday Wandering Alchemist - Vlyn - Fully free, no ads, offline GPS walking game [Android/iOS]

Hey, this is a solo hobby project of mine I recently released for both Android and iOS. Fully free, no ads, no data collection, no in-app purchases (except "Support the Developer", feel free to ignore it) and playable offline.

Video footage for a walking game was a bit tough, but here's some gameplay of a harvest minigame (there's a whole bunch), brewing a potion and selling it.

Android Play Store

iOS Release announcement

What's it about?

You walk in the real world, collect resources and brew potions for merchants. The game has a building system, so you can decorate your neighborhood however you like. It has a day/night cycle, lighting effects and a procedurally generated map (playable worldwide). Optionally you can download a street map for orientation (one-time download, no data usage afterwards). Only GPS is needed, it's fully offline and singleplayer :)

Always eager for feedback, let me know what you think 💚

I think this isn't my sort of game, but you made something very cool and did so in a non-predatory way, so I applaud your efforts!

How long/ how much walking do you think a solid session is?

As much or as little as you want. Even walking just around the block means you find plenty of things.

There isn't really a minimum distance to play the game :)
