Wednesdays
"The hardest part is not to speak up. It’s being heard." Part video game, part graphic novel, Wednesdays seeks to raise awareness about child sexual abuse through a surprisingly hope-filled story.

“The almost complete non-existence of games, let alone media speaking on these topics this frank is criminal. Wednesdays isn't an outlier, but fact is no matter how uncomfortable or repugnant. This was sadly required to…”

“To people who are put off by the project because "socially-minded" games can sometimes feel like homework: this game isn't good because it's about a difficult and important subject, it's just good because it's good.…”
“Comment parler de ce jeu ? Contrairement à ce qu'on pourrait croire vu le sujet, le jeu n'est pas du tout glauque. C'est incroyablement beau, touchant, triste, marrant. Le jeu est très court mais il reste longtemps avec…”

“In my opinion this is one of the best ways to encourage people who were victimized of incest and such to speak up and reach out to others. The idea especially is very well executed since it allows for various ways of…”
“An amazing game about difficult topics. The visuals are great, gameplay simple but efficient. Not for everyone though.”

“The game deals with a heavy and surely a difficult topic, but it's really well written. Everything is perfect - story, meaning, characters, artstyle and music. The end of the game is also great and made me slightly…”
“While this game is disturbing (slightly more than I realized given the focus on supportive friends and family - it does not shy away from the implications of it's theme), it is also warm. As a player, I felt like I was…”
“This game is such a powerful story of acceptance, accountability, and survival. The art and music is beautiful. And I enjoyed building the theme park — it was a good way to break up a heavy story. I hope it reaches the…”

“A brief yet impactful game that deals with heavy, often unspoken-of themes in the media, such as CSA and incest, in a mature and authentic way. Wednesdays is an emotional, multi-layered and raw experience, and some…”
“Short, focused, and unexpectedly powerful. It’s rare to see a game this brief deliver such a lasting impact. Wednesdays doesn’t waste a second. Every moment feels intentional, and it stays with you long after it’s over.…”

“The final and pre-final are too predictable, but the epilogue is good. The pace needs a bit of work, and it could be a bit bolder.”
