Our Wonderland

Eleven-year-old Iggy wasn’t sure what he was expecting when he dragged his friends out to the middle of the woods to attempt a strange ritual from an old book he found in the dumpster at school, but his wildest imagination couldn’t have prepared him for the land of wonder and magic that awaited them at the bottom of that old willow tree.

Now, however, it’s twenty years later, and he and his friends are past the age of make-believe and pretend. The wonderland of their youth has become nothing more than a far-off dream, until one night, Bucks and her newborn daughter disappear without a trace. Soon, Iggy and his friends find themselves being pulled back into that world of childish glee—only their wishes and desires aren’t so innocent anymore, and the world has twisted itself into a land of corruption, evil, and lust that’s scarcely recognizable.

Our Wonderland is a horror-fantasy visual novel focusing on the relationships between five childhood friends. It contains five different arcs, each with its own ending, and your choices affect the order of the arcs, the amount of peril the protagonists experience (hint: how many times you violently die), and the final post-arc epilogue. Currently, the first arc of the game is available to play. The first arc features:

• A complete story with ending
• 3 to 4 hours of playtime
• Storybook-style visuals
• 42 CGs (+ a cinematic ending sequence)
• 5 ways to violently die!
• Lots of dramatic sound effects

Remaining arcs will be released once they're finished (the game is still in production). Stay tuned for devlogs or check out my Twitter for production updates and information on future release dates.

CONTENT WARNINGS

Our Wonderland is recommended for mature audiences only. The game includes:

• Strong adult language
• Strong graphic violence (both illustrated and textual)
• Sexual violence/assault/unwanted sexual advances
• Disturbing and potentially triggering elements

These are the general content warnings. For those unsure about any of the above, please check the list below for more specific details about potentially triggering content (list is hidden for those who don't want to see it for spoiler reasons; please highlight the list to read the text):

• Scenes of violence and torture (strangulation, boiling, limbs being chopped off, heads bashed in, jaws being broken)
• Violent deaths (stabbing, gutting, being eaten, intestines being ripped out, necks snapping, death by sharp glass)
• Unwanted sexual advances (unwanted kissing, touching, trying to initiate sexual intercourse without consent, continuing to kiss and touch even while the other party is visibly uncomfortable and unreciprocating)
• Disturbing/potentially triggering elements (cannibalism, bullying, teasing)
• Mentions in dialogue of suicide, child abuse, self-loathing, violence against an infant

These are just the detailed content warnings for the FIRST ARC (what's available now). I'll be putting out a separate detailed list for each future arc once it's released.

I'm also happy to provide more details if any of the aspects above have you concerned and you'd like to make a knowledged decision/go in prepared! Many of the scenes in the game are supposed to be uncomfortable—but not to the point that I would want anyone to be pushed past their limits. So please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns and I'm happy to provide more details, screenshots, etc.
