Within the world of Wayward Strand, time passes for everyone. Characters continue their lives without waiting for you to interact with them.

In Wayward Strand's unique narrative structure, the stories of over a dozen characters unfold around you in real time, as you roam freely throughout each day.

Choose which story to be a part of by following people, having conversations, and exploring the hospital.

There are over a dozen characters who live or work on the airship that you can meet and spend time with, each going about their lives as you explore.

Some are charming, some eccentric, some rude - each has their own desires, goals and imaginations.

Every character moves and acts of their own accord, at their own pace, on their own timeline - sharing news with each other, arguing, joking, gossiping - or having a chat with Casey as she comes by.

Every playthrough gives you the opportunity to discover something which you didn't see previously - what you missed the first time, you might see the second, third, or fifth time around.

When someone passes Casey in the corridor, you can follow them, to see where they go and what they get up to, and listen in to their conversations.

You can also go into their room and talk with them: asking questions, starting discussions, or joining ongoing conversations.

Spending time with particular characters will lead you to new storylines, locations, revelations and resolutions.

As the journalist for her high school newspaper, Casey keeps track of events and information in her notebook.

Use Casey's notebook to delve deeper into peoples' stories, to make new discoveries, and to piece together mysteries.
