Wayward Strand Review – Uncover the Mysteries of a Hospital Airship

Multiple Blue Rings

High above an Australian city in 1978 hovers a stationary airship that’s been converted into a hospital.

Inside this floating medical facility are several mysteries to be uncovered that everyone aboard is trying to figure out, including its patients and a young girl named Casey.

Conversing with the hospital’s zany and eccentric patients is the key to uncovering these mysteries.  These conversations help Wayward Strand shine as an interactive storybook experience.

The journal is categorized by each character, making it easy to refresh yourself on what you’ve learned about them. You may not even need to talk directly with characters to obtain information.

LISTENING TO THE GAME’S CHARACTERS CAN BE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

Peeking into rooms or listening to conversations from afar is another way to learn what’s happening. Do this at your own risk, as some characters may call you out for eavesdropping.

There may be an option to “hang out for a while,” where Casey will sit across from the patient in silence, and after a few game minutes, the patient may spark a conversation and share things you would never have thought.

THE MORE YOU PUT INTO WAYWARD STRAND, THE MORE YOU GET OUT OF IT

Not being able to uncover everything in one playthrough gives the game immense replay value. Luckily playthroughs shouldn’t take you longer than a few hours.
