Evaluation
Wavetale launched on Steam on December 12, 2022, having previously released on Google Stadia over a year prior. The game is a self-contained story-driven action-adventure. Of the 12 developer news posts on record, only one is substantive — the launch announcement — and the remaining 11 cover conventions, community events, merchandise, and streams, with no announcements of DLC, expansions, roadmaps, or future content of any kind. There are no DLC listings on the store, no season pass, and no developer statements indicating plans for post-launch content. The store description presents the game as a complete narrative experience. Wavetale launched as a finished product with no post-launch content cycle, and the developer has made no communications suggesting otherwise.

About this game
Explore an open sea and the decaying archipelago of Strandville in Wavetale, a story-driven action-adventure game introducing you to fed-up fishermen, secretive hermits – and maybe a pirate or two. Traverse calm waters and surging waves as Sigrid, a young girl who befriends a mysterious shadow that provides her with the power to walk on water.
Speed through the waves, swing yourself from housetops with your net, and defeat an old nemesis to save the citizens of the islands. All with a bit of help from the shadows down below—and your cranky grandmother.
- Speed through the open sea and swing yourself between buildings in this fast-paced adventure
- Experience a heart-warming story about loss and reconciliation
- Make new acquaintances amongst Strandvilles diverse cast of islanders – from the charmingly cocky surfer girl to an old fisherman turned fashion designer
- Change your appearance with collectible hats, hair dyes and outfits
- Fill the pages of Sigrid’s scrapbook with special drawings to learn more about her world
