Wednesdays
Part video game, part graphic novel, Wednesdays seeks to raise awareness about child sexual abuse through a surprisingly hope-filled story.
It tells the story of Timothée who has been abused as a kid and is going through his memories by replaying a video game from his childhood.

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.
You can find a list of the content warnings on ARTE's website.

Wednesdays is created by Pierrec (Haven, Road 96: Prologue, Bury Me, My Love), Exaheva (Still Heroes), Christophe Galati (Save Me Mr Tako), Virginia B. Fernson (Lorsque Les Volcans Dorment), Nico Nowak (There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension), Diane Landais (A Normal Lost Phone, Alt Frequencies) and Florent Maurin (Bury Me My Love, Inua, The Wreck)

Wednesdays will be released on March 26th 2025, here, and on Steam.

Hello am back again with part 2 of Wednesday series, i now think i know where the game is going
am happy that this game was made and even though the topic might be hard or triggering to others, I am really happy that it is being covered in the game, yes I did start to shy away from the story Abit in the video but I told myself that this is made to make people aware that these things happen and are still happening, my name is j cool playing this game all the way from Africa Zambia and will help raise awareness even here in my country, see you guys in part 2
I finished Wednesdays yesterday, and I can't stop thinking about it.
It's so uncommon to find games that leave a lasting impression on you, but Wednesdays manages to do exactly that. The storytelling is extremely raw and poignant, and it truly makes you feel every step of the way. In a world where rape and incest are unfortunately considered taboo, this game is unafraid to speak out on the direct impact such trauma can have on someone's life, bringing the well-needed awareness that is so desperately needed. The gameplay itself is innovative and fascinating, and it does an amazing job conveying serious topics without watering it down.
I also loves how user-oriented the game was. There are countless warnings placed throughout the duration of the game, and its abundantly clear that the game developers made this with the player in mind, a train of thought that is rare nowadays. Wednesdays does a brilliant job at ensuring the player is informed and offers opportunities to skip certain scenes if needed.
I typically don't write reviews, but this game has a way of sticking with the player. I think the sign to any brilliant game is its ability to resonate, which Wednesday does well. As someone who went through trauma as a kid, I found myself tearing up at the ending. Truly a beautiful game; its value is definitely worth and even far exceeds the price.
I feel as though this is like me though its not physical to start off my friend same game as I exposed me to porn now a year later I have an addiction
Such a good game, genuinely so heart wrenching. I really resonated with it. Thank you so much <3
achei esse jogo no próprio site da itch.io e decidi procurar e jogar pela steam
acho que esse foi um dos jogos mais bonitos que eu já vi, a arte é linda, a trilha sonora é ótima, o conceito é muito bem feito e um tema tão bem trabalhado que me fez chorar até o final do jogo
hello! I'm an italian translator, I would be very interested in translating your game into Italian. feel free to let me know and hit me up if you're interested. thank you ^^
Masterpiece!
Today its free in steam :)
I became a victim as a young child by my 8 year older half brother. I'm pretty sure I don't even remeber all the stuff he did to me. I cried so much while playing. I felt so understood like never in my life. It hurts so much. Amazing game
Thanks !

As someone who experienced something very similar to what happened in the game, I want to thank you for being so true to the conflicted feelings and emotions one has after experiencing sexual abuse as a child. Y'all handled this topic delicately and that I had options to choose how I responded felt liberating. Honestly, because the game felt so emotionally real I had step back and take breaks after certain scenes because it was too much for me. But the ending I chose felt true to me now as a 45 year old man and how I'd approach things if I ever ran into my abuser again.
Overall, a beautifully done game tackling an incredibly difficult subject and I was happily surprised by how much interactivity there was. Thank you to you all for making this very important game.
Hi. I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and I'm interested in translating your game. Hit me up when you have the time.
im so touched with the storyline omfgsdd
This game doesn't just tell a story.. it makes you *feel* it, in all its pain but also in its light. There's incredible precision in how the narrative unfolds, in the silences, the looks, the gestures. It's both restrained and deeply impactful, and it encourages introspection, compassion, and awareness.
This is not just a game to me. It's an act of courage. A gentle but powerful cry that breaks the silence and opens a door where so many voices are still unheard.
I can only deeply commend the work of the creators. This is a piece of public importance. To make a game about such a subject is already an act of bravery. To do it this well, with such respect and grace, is nothing short of admirable.
Thank you for this unforgettable moment. Wednesdays does'nt just portray horror, it reaches toward hope. And that's what makes it so great.
Looking forward to the full game!
The demo is awesome!
Beautiful art, nice rhythm, dialogues finely crafted... sensitive subject treated with subtility, a precious and powerful work.
I can't wait to get the full game!
