Very good but had to delete halfway through arc 3 cuz it made me too sad xoxo

its gay but fire

I hate this game. No, I'm not joking - this visual novel felt like putting my brain through a blender. The horror is very visceral, dying over and over and over, blood everywhere all the time, I do NOT like gore and even with having the worst of it censored, it was tough. That wasn't the worst of it. The worst was the emotional turmoil this game put me through. Good art makes you feel things. I can't remember finishing a game before and being angry at it, but I am angry at "Our Wonderland". It does a great job using royalty-free art and music. I could have done without the flashing screens, presentation-wise, but at least the player is warned about them before starting the game. My biggest gripe: this visual novel does NOT respect your time, at all. It repeats and loops and will pretend lines you've read three times already are unseen and hence you cannot skip them unless you turn on skip unseen text. Also, personal opinion - Act 2 was the peak of this Visual Novel to me, and there's 5 acts. The final confrontation was a lot to take in thematically, but the plot did kind of lose me after Act 2 anyways. And every act still had parts I liked, or at least, could appreciate the messaging of even when it was horrible and disgusting. Do this to yourself at your own risk. I do still recommend it.

(I haven't finished the remaster yet and might update my review when I do) Our Wonderland is a free visual novel that could be described as a character-driven fantasy-horror. The story's protagonist is Iggy, a socially anxious 30-year-old freelancer who meets his childhood friends at a garden party. They reminisce about their school days and friendship, but it is clear that unresolved issues and complicated pasts are poisoning their lives and their friendship. After one of his friends, Buxley, leaves her home with her daughter, Iggy is forced to return to Wonderland, a magical place that was once his and his friends' childhood playground. However, they are no longer children full of innocent desires. They are full of pain, frustration, regret, unfulfilled dreams, and wishes. The Wonderland transforms from a safe haven into a terrifying land of dangerous monsters and psychological torture. This magical world, in one way or another, pushes all characters to see the dark sides of their friends and confront their pasts, traumas, dark desires, and complicated relationships. The main driving point is definitely the characters. They have problems that feel real. Although they are 30 years old, they still haven't decided what to do with their lives, and if they did, they are unable to achieve their dreams. The game is not afraid to show the dark, twisted sides of characters that other stories would avoid for fear of making the characters too unsympathetic. Yet, Our Wonderland manages the opposite. You will learn to love or at least sympathise with all of them, even though they are very flawed people. The game is made by a one person who did all the art and writing, yet it feels like a project from a small, passionate group. The writing of the game is great, and it manages to pull you in. There is a place for disturbing scenes, humour, and heartfelt moments. The cartoonish art contrasts with disturbing themes to create an unforgettable atmosphere. Music is most of the time selected perfectly to help set the mood of the scenes. Of course, the story is not perfect. Although I haven't finished the remaster yet, there are some issues it can't fix. Thanks to the specific story structure, there are repeated story beats and small pacing issues. Also, one member of the cast did not get enough time in the story, so she feels unexplored compared to rest of the main cast. Another problem is that some players might strongly dislike the ending for certain reasons (though it is impossible to explain why without spoiling it). I did not do the game justice with this short review, but others can do it better. I would need hours to organise my thoughts and write a review that this visual novel deserves.

Our Wonderland — сюрреалистичная адвенчура‑головоломка, вдохновлённая «Алисой в Стране чудес»: вы исследуете искажённые, «перевёрнутые» локации, где привычные законы физики не работают, а предметы меняют свойства. Главная механика — переключение между двумя состояниями мира, которое открывает новые пути и раскрывает скрытые детали окружения. Плюсы: выразительный визуальный стиль и необычные переходы между состояниями — смена «реальности» выглядит эффектно и каждый раз удивляет; изобретательные головоломки, завязанные на контрасте двух миров — задачи заставляют смотреть на пространство под разными углами и по-новому взаимодействовать с окружением. Минусы: местами неинтуитивное управление — в динамичных сегментах сложно точно позиционироваться, из‑за чего прогресс замедляется; слабая проработка нарратива — атмосфера и образы сильнее, чем сюжет, и история остаётся скорее фоном для исследования. Итог: стильная и умная головоломка для любителей сюрреализма и нестандартных механик — подойдёт тем, кто ценит визуальную изобретательность и удовольствие от решения нетривиальных задач, но не ждёт глубокой сюжетной драмы.
