From the Steam store

Carry a song from a candlelit tavern to the Grand Concord. Wandering Bard is a medieval rhythm adventure about learning the music that matters to people, choosing what the room needs, and playing the set yourself.

Play for the room

Illustration of a lute player performing for villagers in a candlelit tavern. Time taps, holds and chords on instrument-themed rhythm boards. Build a streak, earn an Encore, and hear the Copper Grain tavern answer on the next bar.

Hear the town before you play

Illustration of Millhaven villagers gathering for supper and music beside the town well. Meet the people of six towns and learn the songs they carry. Ask what the crowd wants, pick a set that fits, and return after the show to see what your music changed.

Carry your songbook onward

Illustration of a candlelit atlas with a winding route through medieval towns and hills. Take the road from village rooms to the Grand Concord. For a shorter session, open Quick Play, save a favourite, or rehearse a named passage at 50%, 75% or full speed before returning to the song.

Find your instrument

Illustration of a lute, frame drum, hurdy-gurdy and fiddle on a candlelit workbench. Play lute, fiddle, recorder, hurdy-gurdy and frame drum, each with its own rhythm board. Earn mastery through performances and compare finishes in the Workshop before commissioning one.

33 compositions · 99 arrangements · Four difficulties from Easy to Expert Start with a playable lesson. Use timing calibration, rebindable rhythm keys, optional auto-strum and no-fail, and reduced motion.

Contains references to bereavement, illness, war and a mining accident. No graphic violence.
