Kalops' dream has been writing an encyclopedia on Okali's fauna and flora, ever since she became old enough to read on her own. One day, early in the morning, she decides to depart the village she's never left before, and meets a strange old lady, who seems to know a bit too much about the world.


Wandering Okali is a visual novel with strong focus on lore and characters, which lets you follow Kalops, her best friend Saspi and strange lady Gloria on a world trip around Okali, uncovering and discovering magical creatures, strange plants and a myriad of never-before-seen deities.

Each chapter is expected to be around 10k words or more.

This VN is a kinetic novel. This means there is only one main narrative, and any choices you are presented with will only have very short-term consequences.

What you can expect:

Lots of art: Feast your eyes on the many painted CGs and backgrounds, the field notes in the style of old scientific illustrations, and the many silly doodles that complete the visuals of the story. Perhaps even an animation or two, once in a while~

Immersive worldbuilding: With the story's focus on the natural world, you will learn about the tiny bugs and the grasses unique to this world, as well as the giant magical beasts and the ethereal landscapes.

Girls, girls, girls: Most, if not all the characters will be girls (or girl-adjacent). And lesbians, most likely. 

A bright and whimsical atmosphere: You can expect to see lots of beautiful, vibrant colors and intricate details!


Chapter 3 is out!

excited to see the third chapter soon!

Am I getting a crash near the end of chapter 2, or does it just cut out very quickly? Immediately after the line "And, as soon as I was close enough to my liking, the ground cracked open right under us.", the screen immediately goes black for a second, the music cuts out hard (sometimes making one of those annoying sounds from when sounds cuts out immediately), and then it immediately returns to the title screen with no warning or a message about waiting until the next chapter comes out. I already have all the illustrations and doodles and everything, so I assume that is either the end of the chapter or around it, but it seemed rather sudden so I wanted to check.

If that was the end, I really enjoyed the second chapter. It was just as beautiful as the first, and I really liked the various animals and plants this time (that illustration of the siriko was really impressive especially, although I think my favorite of the illustrations was the last one in the house, that one is just lovely). I also really liked the writing again (Pamum was great, I hope we see more of her again). Additionally, the doodles were just really fun. The first one in the chapter was probably my favorite, with just the expressions on everyone being delightful.

One minor note, I noticed that in the "About" tab of the menu, there's a "Join the Discord" link, but the link does not actually work, it just goes to the "Invite Invalid" page. I don't know if there is a Discord, but it was a bit confusing to have the dead link.

Hi! yes, that is the intended end. I decided against putting the same message as last time, but you're right, I will put a fade to black, and maybe a small "to be continued" next time. (might take the time to release a patch of chapter 2 with those fixes if chapter 3 seems to shape up to take a lot of time too, but hopefully it will not. I already have several backgrounds and CGs started/well along)

As for the discord, dangit, that was supposed to be one of those "stay valid forever" links... I might remove it from the game credits and just have it on the itch page where it's easier to keep to date haha. here's a valid link, just for you! > https://discord.gg/3BNEeEwKrf

Also, glad you liked Pamum, because we all love her on the dev team too :3c she'll be in chapter 3, and most likely chapter 4 as well. And I'm so happy you like all the illustrations and doodles :D it means a lot to me and goes straight to my heart <3

Alright, thank you. I thought that was the end, but it reminded me of a crash with how quick it was and getting that annoying noise, so I wanted to be sure.

Also thank you for the Discord link. It seems like those things tend to be somewhat annoying to set up given how often I've run into expired links (and yet other times I'll run into a Discord that's clearly been dead for years and the link still works, so who knows I guess).

With that, I look forward to the next chapter whenever it is ready. I've greatly enjoyed both the first and second chapters now.

Waiiiiit wait wait. A game about NAGAS?! Sign me up!

indeed! two of the main characters are phériu, a naga-like species. And they will likely meet more along the way :D

Fun characters, gorgeous art, and an interesting world that leaves me wanting more. It's just all around a pleasant game that has me looking forward to the next part.

This is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played in my life. The characters, backgrounds, and the drawings in the journal are all incredible, and the chapter splash screens are truly amazing.

In addition, I loved the characters and story, and the music was lovely. The details about the animals, the journal entries for even your writing supplies... 

This was truly an exceptional experience, and I look forward to seeing more as the story progresses.

One minor note, Gloria's line after the song including the phrase "What it means is it is harmony." is not listed under Gloria's name, which seems like maybe a mistake? I barely noticed it, but I figured I should pass it on just in case.
