Our Expert Score

95/100

The Wreck is a breathtakingly intimate 3D visual novel that masterfully navigates the complexities of grief, trauma, and familial bonds. You play as Junon, a failed screenwriter who must relive the most pivotal day of her life after being called to the hospital for an emergency involving her mother. The game utilizes a unique time-scrubbing mechanic, allowing you to rewind and fast-forward through Junon's thoughts to uncover the emotional truth hidden behind her defensive dialogue. It’s a brave piece of storytelling that doesn't shy away from the 'messy' side of life.

The art style is striking, blending realistic character movements with a dreamlike, almost cinematic quality that reflects Junon's fractured mental state. The voice acting is top-tier, lending a profound sense of humanity to every interaction. While the subject matter is heavy, the execution is so poetic and deeply resonant that you can't help but feel every emotional beat. This isn't just a game; it's a profound exploration of what it means to heal, and it stands as one of the most mature and affecting narratives currently available on mobile.

Incredible.

Don’t even listen to the bad reviews, they 100% deserve your money. This is the most gut wrenching story I’ve heard in a very long time as taught me alot of things I never would’ve thought about on my own. Especially as a new mom. I’m incredibly touched by the story and the way it’s told. The voice acting was incredible, the music, the art, the sound design, it’s a fun little puzzle with some mystery and fantastical elements it’s not just a good story, but an addictive little walking sim. Perfect suited for mobile and I had no issues running this game at all. Thank you devs. This will forever mean a lot to me.

My Favorite Indie Mobile Game

I loved playing this game. I was reminded of my own family struggles and I needed the comfort that the uncomfortable and sad emotions this game helps you work through. There are also moments of joy and a sense of love or the beauty that love has. I was having an awful day but this game helped me to feel better to work through my emotions and enjoy an artful story with wonderful immersive gameplay. The first game I have no regrets on purchasing.

So amazing

It was so amazing and can pull you in so easily. Although one problem is theres no features telling you how to play the game for example when theres a text with red you can click the red words and each word or phrase will give you a different response, and I didn’t know how to get past the lettering at first but once i knew how to use it. Its so amazing

Wow

An utterly beautiful game about grief, regret, and trauma. It’s so well done, and the voice acting is lovely. I absolutely love the visuals and music. Something that will really make you think. It’s a choice game. I haven’t discovered everything, but maybe you will? Anyhoo, it’s definitely worth playing and paying for. A pat on the back to everyone who worked on this.

Great gameplay and voiceover

Love this game and story so far. It feels healing dealing with real topics of family and relationships. The controls can be a bit tricky in the beginning, but you get used to it, just interact with everything that pops up ! I wanna come back and finish this review once i finish it!

Wow!

Not really a game; not really a movie; but so brilliant. I don’t write reviews. I am so grateful that I stumbled across this gem. Thank you to the creators, performers and writers. I love this. If you’re a gamer, it’s probably not for you. If you are a thoughtful, introspective person who cherishes real stories and personal growth this is for you.

Great and thought provoking story
Fri Mar 15 2024 Sapphirecathy

Most like a choose your own adventure, but to some extent guided. Learning about the characters and their decisions is what the story is about. Well done. Will want to play again at some point. Worth the money in my opinion.

Need family sharing for full game
Fri Aug 09 2024 power-user22

Great game! Loving the story, cinematics and art style. My sister would’ve loved to play this game and I wanted to share it via family sharing, but it’s not working. Please turn on family sharing for the full game 🙏🏽
