Audio Pathfinder Adventure, Shardfall, Coming To Mobile Soon!

Thursday, May 5, 2022

Wanderword, the leader in interactive audio entertainment, is teaming up with Paizo to bring Pathfinder to life on mobile devices later this year with the all-new Pathfinder Shardfall!

In Shardfall, the player will explore a rich audio environment, immersing themselves in the pirate-ridden Shackles, the heart of the Lost Omens setting’s high seas. Setting sail from a base of operations in the dangerous archipelago, they’ll survey the many uncharted islands in the region while investigating a strange magical phenomenon that could shift the balance of power in the Shackles and beyond. Will you eradicate this rising threat before it falls into the wrong hands, or are those wrong hands your own?

Prepare to raise anchor, assemble a motley crew of new and familiar faces, navigate contentious waters between opposing factions, and explore long-forgotten islands in search of treasure and unlimited power! This engaging interactive audio adventure is coming this summer–with more information to be revealed soon!

Okay, WHAT. Paizo, I am actually failing to compute the levels of hype in my system right now. I am straight up blue screen of death-ing right now. How could you have kept this secret from us? :D

Omg omg omg I need this yesterday. I will buy for all my friends and their friends and their puppies.

Question: Will this story be canon?

This sounds pretty awesome! Signed up to beta test on the site.

I'm not familiar with their other products but I do love me some audio!

I see what you did there.

Also, do we know how compatible this will be with things like the IOS/Android voiceover options for those who can't see?

While I don't mind the interactive audio, I don't know why paizo doesn't just invest in non-interactive audio. The Batman Unburied Podcast is a phenomenal example on how paizo could use their great storytelling to tell stories in their world.

Are you familiar with the Pathfinder Legends audio dramas Big Finish produced a few years back? That's about as close to Batman Unburied as we've got.

If Big Finish, Wanderword, or a new partner approached us to produce licensed non-interactive content in a podcast form, we'd certainly be open to it. But just like DC didn't produce Batman Unburied (looks like it is Phantom Four & Wolf at the Door and/or Blue Ribbon Content), it's not something we're set up to produce ourselves.

Now that sounds very interesting. :D

How will this compare to the Alexa Starfinder game that released a while back?

I bought all the Big Finish pathfinder products, they are real nice!

VERY NICE, will us PC users also be able to install this or is it mobile only?

Thanks

Wanderword now maintains the Starfinder Alexa Skill. I believe the Pathfinder game will be built on the same platform, but not only for Alexa. We will release full details when we have them.

Wanderword specializes in mobile and smart-speakers. But one can download Alexa onto a PC, for example, so one might play on a PC. I'll find out more.

Save the Date: Plan to playtest Shardfall on Google Play this summer to make it the best it can be! More details soon.

Nice, sadly Google play on PC is still not available in my region as that is what I got when I tried to download the ap. Lets hope this changes SOON..........!!!!

Would love to playtest it and kick the tires as I have played Starfinder Alexa to death by now, LOL

Tom

Anything new on this yet anyone? Been dead silent and the PC ap for this is still not listed for my area as of yet for any playtesting or even playing the actual game when it comes out, sadly :(

Last I checked the site, it said the game is currently under development.

Thanks Feron

I’ve been checking to see if there is any new updates on when the game will be released, so far haven’t found anything new but I’m guessing the game will be released sometime later on this year.

I guess this is just completely dead? The link in the announcement tweet doesn't even work anymore

Is this audio interactive adventure still on track to be released?, I am getting concerned about the game being delayed further or to not to be released altogether. There hasn’t been any new information regarding the status of the game.

Spoiler:

Actually what I said was incorrect. wanderword announcement back in 2022

Regretfully, the project is indefinitely on hold.
