About this game

Like so many children, Tim was a victim of sexual abuse.

Twenty years later, while playing Orco Park, a videogame from his childhood, his memories will come rushing back along with a flood of questions : How could this have happened? Who knew? How has it shaped him? What does “normal” even mean?

Written by Pierre Corbinais (Haven, Road 96: Prologue, Bury Me, My Love), Wednesdays seeks to raise awareness about child sexual abuse through a surprisingly uplifting story.


A mosaic of stories and characters

Wednesdays tells a fragmented story through multiple perspectives.
Build rides and embellishments in Orco Park to unlock Tim’s memories in the order you see fit.
Step into the shoes of Tim’s relatives and try to piece together the tangled memories of his past.
Unveil a moving and sincere story dealing with intrafamilial sexual abuse without any taboo but with a lot of heart.


Two colorful art styles for the price of one

Wednesdays blends two distinct yet complementary art styles. Tim’s memories come to life through the work of comic artist Exaheva (Mekka Nikki, Still Heroes) and draw inspiration from alternative comics and graphic novels. Orco Park is designed by pixel artist Nico Nowak (There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension), evoking the charm of 90s classic video games.


A game everyone can play
Part video game, part graphic novel, Wednesdays has been designed to be accessible to players of all kinds, and even non-players!
A wide range of settings ensure that the experience can be tailored to suit anyone’s needs.


Authentic voices

Wednesdays doesn’t just aim to break the silence around child sexual abuse, it also provides a platform for several of its team members to have they voices heard, as artists, and as victims.
The game does not include any graphic representation of sexual abuse, and even if its topic might sound grim, Wednesdays is above all about trust, hope and healing.

Ratings and reviews

Cried an ungodly amount. reminded me of my ex, and I projected a lot on Tim. all in all, great game, I like the representation and the gameplay! unfortunately because it was a lot for my mental wellbeing I decided to not go and get the other dialogue options from the memories, but regardless it was great!! took like less than an hour to complete, about 30 mins or so.

i encountered this game finding some other ones to play. first for all I'm so glad to know that they're not forcing anyone to buy stuff and also no ads when played online. you can finished it in one sitting but you might need breaks to absorb everything you learn from time to time of playing it and going deep through the story with Tim. this is a nice game not just by the graphics, art style, dialogues but also the message it's trying to tell and be aware of. thanks for creating this ^^

Probably the most beautiful piece of art I've ever got the chance to experience. I went in fully blind, thinking this was going to be some sort of relaxing tycoon game, but I ended up crying full blown rivers. The art direction is gorgeous, the story is heart breaking and sometimes gut wrenching but in a good way, and I really liked the Orco Park sections. Overall, this is a masterpiece which deserves to be played by everyone at least once, it really works to spread awareness of its topics.
