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.

Game Ratings for The Wreck Video Game.
Jump Dash Roll: 7 / 10 by Jessica Eudy
The Wreck is an ambitious game with a twisting web of narrative that, despite a few frustrating gameplay moments, admittedly brought me close to tears by the end. Regardless of any technical issues, a good story about mothers, daughters, and the wrecks our relationships leave behind is always one worth experiencing.
WellPlayed: 8.5 / 10 by James Wood
A smart, compelling, and deeply warm examination of memory and identity, The Wreck gives players the tools to turn tragedy into catharsis.
TechRaptor: 8 / 10 by Samiee Tee
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.
