Wednesdays

Hello gamers and fans of poignant stories. If you're looking for a video game experience that breaks from the norm and has meaning, let me tell you about Wednesdays.

This is not a game like the others. We follow Tim, a man whose childhood was marked by sexual violence, and who sees his memories resurface through a management game, Orco Park. The great strength of Wednesdays is addressing this difficult subject with rare accuracy and humanity, without ever falling into miserabilism. The scenario, written by Pierre Corbinais, is surprisingly luminous and offers a sincere message of hope. The gameplay is a very accessible interactive comic book, where you build a park to unlock memories in the order you wish, while embodying different characters from Tim's entourage.

Beyond its fragmented and choral narrative, the game captivates with its polished artistic direction that alternates between two styles.

• A unique narrative: Explore Tim's memories in the order of your choice by embodying the members of his entourage to reconstruct the puzzle of his memory.
• A dual visual identity: The game mixes the independent comic book style of Exaheva for the memories, and the colorful pixel art of Nico Nowak for the management part in Orco Park.
• Remarkable accessibility: Designed for everyone, including non-gamers, the game offers extensive settings like text size, a high readability font, and the absence of speed constraints.

In summary, Wednesdays is much more than a game: it's an essential and courageous narrative experience. Its sensitive approach and accessible mechanics make it a work that deserves to be discovered by as many people as possible, whether you're an experienced player or simply seeking a strong human story. A true gem that proves the power of video games as a medium to address societal issues with grace.
