Wanderstop is a cozy tea-making simulator where you play as Alta, a previously undefeated fighter who has lost her way. With guidance from the laidback, benevolent Boro, Alta will begin a journey of change as she helps manage Boro’s tea shop, taking requests from customers, enjoying cups of tea, and trying to relax.

Full of wonderful characters and tender moments, Wanderstop is a joy to play.
Wanderstop is primarily a story-driven game with a strong emphasis on taking your time. Below, we’ll take a look at how long you can expect the story of Wanderstop to be, and how long you can expect to play if you want to do everything you can in the game.
How Long Does The Story Take To Finish?
Based on our playthrough, Wanderstop’s story takes around 10 to 11 hours to beat, depending on how much you go out of your way to complete optional content. The story is made up of five chapters.
If you just want to play through the story mode, doing as little side content as possible, you can probably beat it in around 9 to 10 hours.
This number can vary depending on how much you use the Book of Answers, which essentially gives you the direct solution to every request. If you use trial and error to fulfill requests, it may take a few additional hours to beat.
How Long Does It Take To 100% Complete?
Wanderstop is an interesting game where there isn’t exactly a way to get a 100 percent complete save file. Normally, to 100 percent complete a game, you would primarily be focused on completing all of its achievements, gathering each type of item, raising affinity with each customer, and so on.
However, all of Wanderstop’s achievements will unlock as you play the story normally, as they are based on hours played rather than completing any specific objectives. Plus, there aren’t many quantifiable objectives to complete within the game, like collectibles to gather or levels to increase.
For these reasons, we’ll consider Wanderstop to be 100 percent complete if you finish every main and optional request, make one type of every tea, fill up all the tea shop’s pots with plants, and put pictures in all the empty picture frames. Doing all this will take around 12 hours, give or take.
Ultimately, Wanderstop is meant to be played as much as you want. If you want to spend hours making plants or trying out different combinations of tea, you are given the freedom to do that. You can consider the game beaten or 100 percent completed the second you’re ready to stop and move on to something else.
Beating the game unlocks chapter select, allowing you to replay any of the game’s five chapters.
