58 of 58 · most liked firstWe'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. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-Il...

This amazingly cool piece of news would have never happened without @redartgames.bsky.social and @raccoonbiz.bsky.social, so: 💖💖💖
unlabelledView post →Donkey Kong Bananza is what the Wreck-It Ralph tie-in game could've been if they locked in
unlabelledView post →Call me crazy, but I think The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald would make a kick ass video game.
unlabelledView post →I got maximum value off Rise from the Wreck one game and I could feel my opponent die a little inside. Then they died a lot on the outside. I'm going to bed now 😂
unlabelledView post →Finishing file prep for the Wreck League™️ beta which has infected the hours from 11pm - 3am over the past week while I demolish x files seasons
unlabelledView post →“The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” is stuck in my head. This is because Spotify basically (for me) exclusively plays sea shanties and/or video game songs trying to be sea shanties, covered by epic metal bands with operatic vocals, and this is a condition i greet with great enthusiasm
unlabelledView post →itching to write a blog about how the main inspiration behind the dialogue system in Building Relationships came from the devastating grief game The Wreck
unlabelledView post →Here's a fun game: See how long it takes before your therapist realizes that you're just quoting "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."
unlabelledView post →In a similar vein, I've always wondered what happens if re-plug in an arcade cabinet in the Wreck-It-Ralph universe. Does it just create an entirely new set of those characters, since they die when the game gets unplugged, or does it just reload the world? What if they were outside the game?
unlabelledView post →Man, thinking about Wreck-it-Ralph… Back then, I’d had an idea for a sequel where he’d meet a modern incarnation of the Wreck-it-Ralph character who WAS a good guy in his game, à la Donkey Kong. Shame they never made a sequel to that movie.
unlabelledView post →www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c... I will be writing an official adventure module for this game! It is called “The Wreck of the Katabasis” and will feature all my trademark motifs- dead god-monster flesh, lightless fathoms of abyssal water, an insular community of monstrous weirdos, etc
unlabelledView post →"In a way, it feels like a precision strike on kids from typical East Asian households." Getting that kind of reviews for The Wreck leads me to believe the writing for this game works well (spoiler: my sister Coralie and I, the game's authors, grew up in France).
unlabelledView post →We explore the grandaddies of video game novelty music, Buckner & Garcia. I think their best song is the Wreck-It Ralph one, while “Do The Donkey Kong” overwhelms you with too many dance instructions
unlabelledView post →I've delayed in sharing this amazing project by @thepixelhunt.bsky.social on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ith... A climate resistance, road-trip, narrative focused game by the studio that brought you Wednesdays, Bury me My Love, and The Wreck.
unlabelledView post →Thanks to the amazing Olena Hostilova, our game The Wreck is now available in Ukrainian on Steam, and very soon on iOS and Android too! store.steampowered.com/news/app/168...
unlabelledView post →WHAT??? The Wreck is nominated as "Mobile game of the year" at the Pocket Gamer Awards. If you've got a minute to vote, it'd be greatly appreciated! www.pocketgamer.com/pgawards2024...
unlabelledView post →Emotionally connecting to a game is very important to me personally as a gamer. The Wreck was one of those games that has not left me yet @thepixelhunt.bsky.social Here‘s a video with it and many others that impacted me in some way #indiegames youtu.be/Y1_HTUKbqhw
unlabelledView post →Easily the highlight of this year's Day of the Devs for me. The Pixel Hunt has never been afraid to ask hard questions and let players stew in them for a while (see Bury Me, My Love, The Wreck and Wednesdays), and Ithaca looks like it could be their most urgent and charged game yet.
unlabelledView post →Pisses me off that they were like "okay, we'll make the Wreck-it Ralph arcade game and uhhhhhh a sidescroller Wii/3DS shovelware game that plays like ass". WHERE'S MY DAMN KART RACER. I want to gradually unlock candy-themed kids and do snake maneuvers and boost tactics that make my thumbs bleed!

unlabelledView post →RT for awareness that @umichfball.bsky.social must play “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” during the first timeout of the third quarter of this year’s game against the Ohio State Buckeyes.
unlabelledView post →So is this what the Wreck it Ralph characters felt like when their game was unplugged? #tiktokban #gameover #tiktokrefugee #tiktokrefugees #auadhd
unlabelledView post →No one adds Alf’s hog to things or parody versions of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It is purely for love of the game.
unlabelledView post →listening to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald before the game starts, which seems very Michigan after all.
unlabelledView post →New at the Video Game Soda Machine Project: a vending machine from The Wreck, a 3D visual novel about memory, family, and a very difficult day in the life of failed screenwriter Junon.
unlabelledView post →A Gordon Lightfoot-themed bar outside CPKC Stadium would be amazing. A couple hundred of us drinking & singing "Carefree Highway" before we walk to the stadium? I'm there. I would have appreciated a bar absolutely blasting "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"as I walked from the 2025 playoff game.
unlabelledView post →Daniel Okrent once likened Game 6 of the 1975 World Series to a Russian novel. This is more like The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
unlabelledView post →The first game we helped with Raccoon Business was The Wreck. A few days ago, the game was nominated for "Excellence in Narrative" at IGF. We are so proud of being able to help The Pixel Hunt on this journey. <3
unlabelledView post →Semi forgot i'd preordered this but my copy of The Wreck has shipped from The Game Collection😊
unlabelledView post →Completely overhauled the Wreck League™️ gameplay loop after months of feedback WITHOUT changing any of the components or adding anything to the game please clap
unlabelledView post →I knew Michigan was going to win this game when their players were comparing themselves to the lake in the song The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald That is hard as fuck
unlabelledView post →what is the absolute funniest song you could put over a combo video. a song that has absolutely no business being used in a fighting game clip. rn i'm thinking The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
unlabelledView post →There is a game event (Jonas the Wreck) that references a Space Federation "Galactic" to me implies that the army's jurisdiction already spans most of the galaxy, though I guess that could be aspirational. (If it's aspirational, *that* could certainly provide motivation for a standing army)
unlabelledView post →This important game will need your support ! Ithaca is a narrative roadtrip RPG about climate resistance. It's made by the people behind "Bury Me, My Love", "The Wreck" and recently "Wednesdays" : all games handling real-world sensitive topics with a lot of maturity
unlabelledView post →Listened to “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” while watching the Wolves game on mute. Weird🧌
unlabelledView post →Congrats to The Wreck for their three nominations at The Pegases (French Video game Awards) <3 We are glad to have the chance to be part of this adventure. (And see you at the event !).
unlabelledView post →I'm crying. I knew Dee first as a fellow WOW player in the Wreck List guild. I remember our first interaction in game, explaining to a young guildmate what Juneteenth was, followed by many hours of fun together. That was 15 years ago: not enough time to have Dee as a friend. Rest in Power my dear.
unlabelledView post →Entire games going defunct is yet another reason Fawful finds mobile gaming even cringier than the Wreck it Ralph game, I imagine.
unlabelledView post →5- The Wreck Society I want to make this game. So much. I struggle to work on it lately but it's my favorite project
unlabelledView post →Donkey Kong Bananza is the Wreck-It Ralph game we never got.
unlabelledView post →The Wreck It Ralph game looks great though~
unlabelledView post →Okay, yay!now that you’ve gotten through it, here’s a fun fact! Someone actually managed to interview some folks behind Sonic Dreams Collection, so now we know half of everything there is to know about the behind the scenes for the game (like the Wreck-it-Ralph Sonic model being used in game).
unlabelledView post →Solid start! For the essence, throw in some Gordon Lightfoot – 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' is peak Canada. And if you want a real taste, catch a Blue Jays game if you can – nothing beats that vibe. For the falls, the Hornblower cruise is cliché but worth it. Your trip will be awesome!
unlabelledView post →Here's a sneak peek at the brand new factions coming in the Wreck campaign! youtube.com/playlist?lis...
unlabelledView post →[Epic Games Mobile] (Game) The Wreck is free! See the /r/FreeGameFindings thread below. #FGF #FreeGameFindings #Free https://redd.it/1s4a3w4
unlabelledView post →Although I hoped to finish another album before year's end, I only got three tracks done... still, no reason not to put out "Lost at Sea" first single off the upcoming album "The Wreck of Hope"... song inspired by too many hours playing the video game Dredge. beerfinger.bandcamp.com/track/lost-a...
unlabelledView post →It's sad to see how little The Wreck has sold, especially when you know how good the game is. Game director Florent Maurin asked this question last month on Reddit: Why the hell do we even bother making indie games? https://www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/comments/12m4ntw/why_the_hell_do_we_even_bother_making_indie_games/ His answer is worth reading. I don’t think that I have found mine yet. What’s yours? #TheWreck #indiedev #ThePixelHunt
unlabelledView post →I'm imagining a weird combination of "what if the people running arcades in the Wreck-It Ralph universe knew the game characters were all sentient and meeting up in the power strips?" and this specific xkcd strip imgs.xkcd.com/comics/netwo...
unlabelledView post →My favorite moment only adjacent to the game was me spending literal in real life hours trying to figure out what the song that was playing sounded like. 'The Miners' is like an americana cover of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and it was bugging me for full DAYS
unlabelledView post →I want Kingdom Hearts IV to have a Bubble Bobble summon you get in Game Central Station more than the Wreck-It Ralph world itself
unlabelledView post →I got my youtube recap, my most listen to songs are the three songs from a PS1 game I use as a timer for my showers in the morning, an anime song my daughter loves to listen to a lot in the car, and The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot 😂
unlabelledView post →I do love some of the little touches. The NPC charter ships are cute. The text on the Wreck of the Salty Grouper was funny. But still, this was not ready to come out in this state. Not game-ruining or anything, but highly unsatisfactory.
unlabelledView post →Today, Red Art Games announced that it will produce a physical release for The Wreck on Switch. #TheWreck https://gamesense.co/game/the-wreck/news/discuss/the-wreck-receiving-physical-release-on-switch/
unlabelledView post →One of the best games I played this year is now available on mobile. And the first part of the story is free! :android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ThePixelHunt.TheWreck :ios: https://apps.apple.com/app/the-wreck/id6450220805 I prefer to warn: this game addresses difficult topics and is not for everyone. On my side, it changed the way I think about games and how I want to write them. The Wreck deserves to be known, believe me 😤 #TheWreck #MobileGame
unlabelledView post →The Wreck is a game about being a daughter, a sister, a mother. More than anything, The Wreck is a steamroller that doesn't bother with subtle subtext or great interactivity; just a big punch of rich writing and splendid acting in the service of topics* I've never seen in a video game before. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1687960/The_Wreck/ #TheWreck #Gaming (*be aware that the CW at the start of the game doesn't cover them all)
unlabelledView post →A powerful narrative journey that utilizes a time loop mechanic for commentary on the cycles we find ourselves in, and utilizes its gameplay to play perfectly alongside the story beats. #TheWreck https://gamesense.co/game/the-wreck/news/discuss/the-wreck-review/
