Crossposting as it was suggested to me. My game uses OSM data, with as much as possible cut out then compressed. For example the map of Austria I offer is a one time 57 MB download. Bigger countries are subdivided.
Data is under 10 GB for world wide coverage, so I can host it for free on Cloudflare :)
It took quite a while, but it’s finally out. Fully free, no ads, no in-app purchases (besides a “Support the developer” option), no data collection and fully offline playable. All you need is your phone and GPS :)
I originally made the game to go on walks, unfortunately I sat even more in front of my PC to develop it. It is what it is. Hopefully it motivates some of you to get your steps in 💚
General idea of the game: Collect ingredients, brew them into potions and sell them to merchants. With the gold and reputation you get you can buy things and decorate your neighborhood. Other players see the same map and resources (so you can indirectly play together), but the game world fully belongs to you (singleplayer only).
General roadmap right now:
- Adding achievements
- Adding buildings you can improve over time (tavern to attract merchants and an ingredient tree you need to grow)
- More minigames and improving the existing ones
- And of course bugfixes, please let me know if you run into issues :)
For any questions and suggestions I’m always available!

Apple took two weeks just for the first round of reviews, but it’s finally out.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wandering-alchemist/id6798869918
Not the newest content update yet, but hopefully in a day or two that will also pass the review :)
Let me know how you like it, a rating and review would be very appreciated! 💚
I keep getting a “waiting for gps” error:( Probably I have something vital switched off inside of the location services settings but I’ve given the app permission… I will need to do some troubleshooting
Oh, for the first start you need a good GPS signal (due to the tutorial). Try moving to a window at least ^^’
I also improved GPS with an update, but it’s still in Apple Review.
Oh that may explain it, my workplace doesn’t get excellent signal. I’ll try again when I’m back in the neighborhood:)
Oh wow I wasn’t expecting you to move on this quick! Downloading it now.
