And The Wreck promises to be a narrative adventure following in the footsteps of its very respectable elder Bury me, my love. Far from the Syrian countries of the latter, for its new package, the studio The Pixel Hunt seems to have kept the background, but has completely revised the form of its next software. Exit the very colorful plates largely inspired by the Franco-Belgian comic strip, The Wreck shifts to polished 3D, backed by strong art direction, built on erratic animation chopping and beautifully crafted cel shading. The first animated images of the app are reminiscent of Sable’s artistic choices.

The Pixel Hunt promet que The Wreck will be a strong narrative and emotional experience, for which the players will slip into the shoes of Juno, a woman in her thirties with a professional career made up of chess, who must face the imminent death of her mother, victim of a ruptured aneurysm . In what promises to be a non-linear adventure, she will have to explore her past, and make the right choices in order to modify the present, and prevent her life from ending like a Goethe novel (depressing at best, deadly at worst). . At the antipodes of the fairy tale, the title is intended to be a fundamentally adult story, built around the notions of mourning and resilience, for an adventure that will last a little less than 6 hours.
Who says narrative experience, obviously says scenario with small onions, under penalty, otherwise, of ending up in the box of forgettable games. Let us mention the fact that The Wreck will arrive crowned with an honorable mention in the “Excellence Narrative” category, won at the Independent Games Festival 2023, which will not fail to reassure on the scriptural qualities of the software.
The Wreck is expected for March 14 on PC (via Steam and GOG), PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One and Series.
