Tim affronte les souvenirs de ses abus sexuels durant l'enfance en revisitant Orco Park, un jeu vidéo de son enfance. Les joueurs y construisent attractions et aménagements pour révéler ces souvenirs dans l'ordre de leur choix, avant de basculer dans la perspective des proches de Tim et de reconstituer son passé. Cette expérience indie tisse un récit fragmenté à travers plusieurs points de vue, mêlant thèmes poignants de confiance, d'espoir et de guérison, sans aucune représentation graphique des abus. Deux styles artistiques marquent le jeu : des visuels inspirés de la BD signés Exaheva pour les souvenirs, et un pixel art par Nico Nowak qui rappelle les classiques des années 90 pour Orco Park. Des options d'accessibilité complètes - tailles de texte ajustables, vitesses de défilement personnalisables, et prises en charge de la souris, du clavier ou du joystick - le rendent accueillant. Des gamers aux non-joueurs, tout le monde y trouve son compte.

Like so many children, Tim was a victim of sexual abuse.

Twenty years later, while playing Orco Park, a videogame from his childhood, his memories will come rushing back along with a flood of questions : How could this have happened? Who knew? How has it shaped him? What does “normal” even mean?

Written by Pierre Corbinais (Haven, Road 96: Prologue, Bury Me, My Love), Wednesdays seeks to raise awareness about child sexual abuse through a surprisingly uplifting story.

A mosaic of stories and characters

Wednesdays tells a fragmented story through multiple perspectives.

Build rides and embellishments in Orco Park to unlock Tim’s memories in the order you see fit.

Step into the shoes of Tim’s relatives and try to piece together the tangled memories of his past.

Unveil a moving and sincere story dealing with intrafamilial sexual abuse without any taboo but with a lot of heart.

Two colorful art styles for the price of one

Wednesdays blends two distinct yet complementary art styles. Tim’s memories come to life through the work of comic artist Exaheva (Mekka Nikki, Still Heroes) and draw inspiration from alternative comics and graphic novels. Orco Park is designed by pixel artist Nico Nowak (There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension), evoking the charm of 90s classic video games.

A game everyone can play

Part video game, part graphic novel, Wednesdays has been designed to be accessible to players of all kinds, and even non-players!

A wide range of settings ensure that the experience can be tailored to suit anyone’s needs.

Authentic voices

Wednesdays doesn’t just aim to break the silence around child sexual abuse, it also provides a platform for several of its team members to have they voices heard, as artists, and as victims.

The game does not include any graphic representation of sexual abuse, and even if its topic might sound grim, Wednesdays is above all about trust, hope and healing.
