The Wandering Village – Build Your Home On a Giant Creature | A Ghibli-Inspired City Builder
0🐢 The Wandering Village I'm Living Atop a Roaming Megabeast!
Embark on a beautifully unique journey in **The Wandering Village**, a city-building survival sim where your village lives on the back of a colossal creature known as **Onbu**. In this video, I explore the core mechanics—from building and farming to navigating biomes—while balancing a fragile symbiosis between your settlement and this gentle giant.
*What You'll See:*
A lush, Ghibli-inspired art style that brings every biome to life ([Wikipedia][1], [VICE][2])
Strategic settlement building atop a moving creature—maximize limited space and plan production chains wisely ([Wikipedia][1], [strayfawnstudio.com][3])
Adaptive foraging missions, dynamic environments, and the moral choice between symbiosis or exploitation of Onbu ([Wikipedia][1], [PC Gamer][4], [VICE][2])
An emotional journey that blends storytelling and survival with choice-driven relationships ([Wikipedia][1], [PC Gamer][4], [WIRED][5])
The game just hit its full 1.0 release on July 17, 2025, after years in early access — packed with new biomes, story mode, trading, parasite mechanics, and much more. ([PC Gamer][4])
Join me as we see whether Onbu trusts us—or if we become parasites instead!
