Wednesdays

I went blind into this game and i have to say i'm sincerely surprised by the very strong themes it treats and the delicate way they are treated. It's a game every adult should play honestly, it really really makes you think and well, if you had the same experience as some of the characters it might help you at least to talk about it. I warn you, it's not easy to finish it without shedding a tear or two. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3751731237

A narrative game with a theme park builder that is just a placeholder to be used in the narrative. Finished in one sitting and more or less felt ehh from it. It does its best to be disturbing at times to get the main message across, from the viewpoint of various individuals with similar or outside experiences. Most of which just comes off as boring or very dragged out. What is disturbing the most is a few characters expressing childhood sexual experiences outside of forced/family as being normal or good. With a deafening silence for the contrary opinion. Which considering these are supposedly inspired by true stories makes it not sit right with me. These mainly coming from the game's characters who didn't experience said forced/family things but did experience other sexual experiences as minors. These character opinions I feel are more to the root of the problem which is glorifying sexuality to children. I can't fault the developers for trying to tackle a difficult subject. I feel the attempt misses the underlying issues of the subject in favor of shock value for outside people to experience. Which may have been the purpose, but perhaps giving the player the option to play into what is expressed as abhorrent tragic real experiences is more creepy than anything else.

[h1]A Brave, Direct, and Beautiful Experience[/h1] [i]☕ Played as part of the [url=https://www.backlog-assassins.net/themes/2026-06] BLAEO June/July "Beach Read" [/url] monthly theme.[/i] Wednesdays tackles heavy themes like child abuse and incest with profound grace. There is no hiding here; the game addresses these topics openly and directly. It is a surprisingly calm and relaxing experience with a heavy, intentional atmosphere, supported by amazing art and storytelling. It never preaches or tells you how to feel—its focus is simply to raise awareness, acting as a positive experience that acknowledges dark realities. That said, this calm and beautiful approach might not resonate with everyone. Survivors who are actively struggling with heavy trauma or shame might find the game's peaceful, positive tone difficult to connect with. In the credits, the developers bravely state, without shame, that they are victims themselves. This openness, along with learning that the in-game roller coasters symbolize the unpredictable ups and downs of life, makes it a deeply moving game. I highly recommend it.

I am speaking so i can rate this game up

Хорошая игра про тяжелую историю. Отмечу ещё приятную рисовку, коротковата, но стоит того, чтоб прочитать.

This is the kind of painting which is never finished. Other narrative games sometimes have interaction that feels to me like needless distraction. In Wednesdays, I really appreciated the fact that I could choose conversation responses, because the topic is so heavy that when I disliked a response, I REEEALLY disliked a response, and it was a relief to be able to navigate around it. Psychological Safety Dialogue Tree. It also accurately reflects real conversations on topics like these, where you're flooded with 35 things you want to say, but half of them are too horrible to utter out loud but you're still a bit frozen by having to choose. A shorty but a goody, definitely recommend.

Es un buen juego que trata muy bien un tema tan sensible, acompañado de un arte y música increíbles

What a hard topic to make a game about and yet it was done beautifully. This clearly had a lot of care gone into it and does a great job of telling a story—even if it's an uncomfortable one to get through—and bringing about awareness. This is a game that *should* be played and I can't believe this game only has 280 reviews. 2 hours well spent.

A short game about child sexual abuse, especially incestual child abuse, as shown through the memories and experiences of a French man named Timothée who was abused by his cousin. It's made by people who've gone through similar things, and therefore not only very thoughtful but also respectful. I really think it's worth playing, if not to cope, then to spread awareness.

I wasn't ready for this when I started playing. It's a game that everyone should play. Maybe it will help with the erased memories that haunt us.
