The Independent Gamer: Experimental Studio Ghost Pattern Launching Narrative ‘Wayward Strand’ for PlayStation
Experimental Design Studio Ghost Pattern Set to Launch Debut Narrative Game
Australian developer and publisher Ghost Pattern is bringing the interactive story Wayward Strand to PlayStation 4 and 5 next year, as well as Steam.
The game is set aboard an airborne hospital in 1970s Australia, with players taking on the role of a teen journalist, Casey, whose mother is the head nurse on the airship. Casey is asked to spend time in the aged care ward, getting to know the elderly patients and staff as she explores mysteries on the ship.
Along the way, Wayward Strand explores personal themes of care, neglect, friendship, community, infirmity, and death.
Players can interact with many characters on board, such as the eccentric Esther Fitzgerald, a former psychic on call-in radio, and motivational speaker Neil Avery. As Casey interacts with each character, the others continue on with their day, which is the core mechanic of the game.
Wayward Strand is currently being featured at PAX East Online at the PlayStation Indies booth.
