The Wreck is a narrative adventure game, in which we follow the story of a woman named Junon. Struggling with many problems, the protagonist tries to cope with the demons of the past and fix her professional and personal life in one day.
The Wreck is a narrative adventure game dealing with difficult life themes. It was developed by The Pixel Hunt, an independent studio whose portfolio includes the unique Bury Me, My Love.
The protagonist of The Wreck is Junon, a 36-year-old screenwriter whose professional career and personal life hang in the balance. When her mother is hospitalized in a critical condition, the protagonist has to survive the most important day of her life, trying to deal with her past and put all her affairs in order.
The gameplay in The Wreck consists mainly of following the storyline. As we watch flashbacks and gradually learn more about Junon's past and the secrets she's been hiding, we get to know and better understand the problems she's facing. As we gain information, we unlock new dialogue that we can use in numerous conversations to repair Junon's damaged relationships with others. Our actions are important because they determine whether the woman will find peace and hope for a better tomorrow.
Despite the serious subject matter of The Wreck, the graphic design of this production is kept in a colorful, cartoonish style.

The Wreck is a captivating game that is unique in its own genre. It made visual novels much more accessible for everyone, including myself. It brought a fantastic way into the light to explore and hunt for secrets inside their brilliant frameworks. The mechanics and artwork were spot on; other than that, the narrative is simply genius. The main factor was definitely the story of the worst day of Junon and all that surrounds and affects it. The way we slowly understand the complexity and sorrowful traumas, together with the overflowing emotions of Junon, is quite profound, not to forget the fascinating way it is presented in the game. I recommend this game not only for fans of the genre but for everyone to give it a go and discover something distinctive and significant.

A powerful narrative journey that utilizes a time loop mechanic for commentary on the cycles we find ourselves in and utilizes its gameplay to play perfectly alongside the story beats.
