The Wreck Is An Emotional 3D Visual Novel By The Makers Of Bury Me, My Love

2019’s My Love, Bury MeIt was one of the best stories I’ve ever seen, and it is also very emotional. We’ve been curious as to what developer The Pixel Hunt had up its sleeve next, and we found out yesterday with the reveal of its next project, The Wreck.

The Wreck will be a 3D animated visual novel for mature audiences. Junon is a young screenwriter who fails to realize her potential and must live through the traumatizing moments of her childhood. The Pixel Hunt describes the story as a tale about “sisterhood, motherhood, grief, and survival.” 

In terms of gameplay, you’ll converse with a small cast of characters to explore Junon’s past in a non-linear story. Junon is dealing with severe emotional stress, and Junon’s mother is in critical condition. It can be difficult to revisit and come to terms with her past and present. Though the trailer establishes the tone,  the gallery of screenshots below provides a better idea of how moment-to-moment gameplay appears and the game’s dream-like quality. 

The Wreck will be available for PC via Steam starting in 2022.
