TUNING SIGNAL...

Fernweh A walking sim that’s basically Oregon Trail for people who hate stakes.

August 2026

A single-player narrative game about walking a fixed seasonal path, trading off dwindling Energy and Supplies with zero combat, maps, or scores. Every scene is drawn with pygame primitives—calm, procedural, and terminal-free.

Year 11 WSC class project was supposed to be a basic pygame loop. I overengineered it into a full seasonal walk with auto-installers because I was bored and the teacher kept nodding approvingly. Turns out overengineering pays off when the alternative is a for-loop with a rectangle.
