Wednesdays, our game about growing up after child sexual abuse IS OUT! ✨
It is the result of two years of work by a small team who put a lot of love into it.
We really hope you will enjoy the game, and, why not, we hope it will make the World a tiny bit better.

The Wreck is two years old today, and to celebrate, it's the cheapest it's ever been. Happy birthday The Wreck!

We're proud to reveal our collaboration with Pierre Corbinais (Bury Me, My Love, Haven) and the Pixel Hunt (Inua, The Wreck) on Wednesdays!
On the topic of child sexual abuse, Wednesdays is a peaceful narrative game exploring Tim's memory in a fragmented story.

The US-Mexico border is practically larger-than-life and completely imagined by most Americans. It's very hard to make it real or even package it as something manageable.
On the other hand, anytime someone tells me the border is wide open, I show them stuff like this and ask them to show me where:
from him, certainly not! but for most people who hear his "close the border" discourse it's a mild and logical step toward stability (see for instance Brexiters who only realized what it meant when UK closed its borders)

Hi there Bluesky! We're The Pixel Hunt, a tiny indie studio from France. We make reality-inspired games and believe the world around us is full of stories worth telling. We made Bury me, my Love (with ARTE), Inua (with IKO and ARTE) and The Wreck (helped by KOWLOON NIGHTS). And more is coming!

Vertical key art for Wednesdays. Drawing of a man standing, a hand in his pocket. He has a translucent cube in place of a head. The man in pink on a vanilla background, we can see roofs from a city in the distance. Around him, several blue silhouettes seem to be cheering for him. Above, the title, in pink : Wednesdays
Hi, I'm Pierre Corbinais, you might also know me as "Oujevipo" from the ~other~ bad place.
I'm currently working on a new video game called Wednesdays.
It's about child sexual abuse but I *swear* it's not as dark as it sounds!
You probably don't want to miss that, right?
.... right ?
This is the biggest question that no one has been able to overcome that I've seen... I think in large part because no one likes institutions.
But you definitely need an individual at the start to humanize the institution and create the template that others will follow - then hope they follow it good
For the moment my manhood had been ripped from me—and in the presence of a Negro woman for whom I, a “man,” was supposed to be the “protector.” In addition, this had occurred on a public street for all the local black people to witness, reminding them that no black man was as good as any white man. All of us—doctor, Jawyer, postman, field hand and shoe-shine boy—had been psychologically “put in our place.” The self-hate that I felt at that time was generated by the fact that I and my people were completely helpless and powerless to destroy that white bigot and all that he represented. Suppose I had decided, as a 'man should, to be forceful? What crippling price would I have paid for a few moments of assertive manhood? What was I to do with my rage? And if I, a physician in middle-class dress, was vulnerable to this treatment, imagine the brutality to which “ordinary” black people are subjected—not only in the South but also in the North where the brutality is likely to be more psycho
No excuse for this guy but within our department (social sciences, respectably New England) all students are on a first-name basis with professors.
As a linguist I'm not bothered but it was strange at first.

@randyfosho.bsky.social it's happening.
