Welcome Wayfinder!
You are an initiate of a mysterious order, tasked with seeking out lost relics from a bygone era. Your first challenge: discover the path to the Secret Star!
Path of the Wayfinder: The Secret Star is a puzzle-adventure zine that is played like a maze with additional movement rules. Inspired by metroidvania games and rules discovery puzzles, it features 8+ pages of 100% human made movement puzzles, secrets, and RISO-printed graphics and illustrations!
Comes with a wooden cube that can be used to keep track of your position while playing.
Maze Exploration With a twist
Traverse a mysterious land via grids of square spaces connected by special numbered waypoints. But watch out! Only moves that use your full movement value and end on a circled space are allowed. Track movement with your eyes, your finger, a stylus, or with any small object (wooden cube included!).
New Abilities to Unlock
Augment your movement with level ups and special powers! Retrace your steps to discover new challenges and areas you couldn’t reach before.
Bonus Puzzles and Secrets
There’s more below the surface than meets the eye. Can you unravel all the mysteries that lie within?
F.A.Q. (Spoilers!)
All of the puzzles and art in Path of the Wayfinder: The Secret Star were made by me (Zak) without the use of “generative AI” (yuck).
Each copy is RISO-printed with only the best colors and is hand-cut, folded, and assembled in Portland, Oregon.
