About Our Wonderland
Eleven-year-old Iggy wasn’t sure what he was expecting when he dragged his friends out to the woods to attempt a strange ritual from a 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. 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 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 horror and depravity that’s scarcely recognizable.Our Wonderland is a horror-fantasy visual novel focusing on the struggles, issues, and deteriorating relationships between five childhood friends (amplified to horrific effect). I think of it a bit like an overwrought character drama that happens to include horrific and fantastical things. It contains five different arcs, each with its own ending, and your choices affect the amount of peril the protagonist experiences (hint: how many times Iggy violently dies), as well as the final ending (hint: who Iggy ends up with at the very end, because apparently in some messed-up way, this is also the world's worst dating sim).As an extra note, this game also touches on a lot of LGBTQIA+ themes.Our Wonderland was originally released episodically on itchio between 2021 and 2024. This Steam release is the newly remastered version with overhauled art, new features, and many quality-of-life updates.
- A dramatic, emotional, and occasionally horrific visual novel told in five arcs, each with its own ending
- Four possible epilogues based on your choices (1 neutral and 1 for each of the 3 LIs Iggy can end up with)
- 20 to 25 hours of playtime (around 288k words of reading)
- Storybook-style visuals accentuated by a weird, colorful art style
- Over 570 CGs/illustrations (that's a whole heck of a lot)
- Some super sweet animatic-style cutscenes for important, poignant scenes (easier to cry to)
- 12 ways to violently die! (if you want to, of course)
- A fun cinematic soundtrack and lots of dramatic sound effects for an immersive experience

I love this game, just the art, story characters and the theme's! its a visual novel that id safely put in my top 5. im still finding time to get all the achievements and finish the last act but having played the demo and the itch version in its full i can definatly say its a good read!!1 found this helpful
This was obviously a massive labour of love with its ambitious scope and literally hundreds of CGs. The characters' relationships are quite complex with all the unspoken resentments and expectations of actual relationships. It handled a number of difficult topics, such as internalized homophobia and transphobia, with careful nuance but without pulling any punches. Horror, adventure, and romance/friendship were all nicely balanced. Although I do recommend this game, I feel like the ending was a little too... pat for me. Even though it set up a lot of legitmately hurtful conflicts, it felt like it rushed a bit to have everyone be content by the end and smooth over issues, although I can see others disagreeing with me on this.1 found this helpful
I got trauma. 11/10 would add 12 but not enough Jerry screen time. But um... ima be honest with you, Iggy is exactly like me, and has all my regrets and fears and. I felt every bit, playing till the sun came down and rose again. Thank you so much for making this game. Tears in my eyes, it was an honest to god good game. im going to now sit with effectively watching myself die over and over for the past week. FYI i got neutral ending1 found this helpful
immaculate highly recommend for those of us who love well written social horror stories
I hate this game. No, I'm not joking - this visual novel felt like putting my brain through a blender. The horror is very visceral, dying over and over and over, blood everywhere all the time, I do NOT like gore and even with having the worst of it censored, it was tough. That wasn't the worst of it. The worst was the emotional turmoil this game put me through. Good art makes you feel things. I can't remember finishing a game before and being angry at it, but I am angry at "Our Wonderland". It does a great job using royalty-free art and music. I could have done without the flashing screens, presentation-wise, but at least the player is warned about them before starting the game. My biggest gripe: this visual novel does NOT respect your time, at all. It repeats and loops and will pretend lines you've read three times already are unseen and hence you cannot skip them unless you turn on skip unseen text. Also, personal opinion - Act 2 was the peak of this Visual Novel to me, and there's 5 acts. The final confrontation was a lot to take in thematically, but the plot did kind of lose me after Act 2 anyways. And every act still had parts I liked, or at least, could appreciate t…
It's on Steam now. The art is very cute, there is horror and gay dudes. Nice.
