Will: A Wonderful World

Move fate to another line ★ 7.5/10 — Text rearrangement is creative, puzzles lean on brute force, and character stories are underdeveloped ⊕ BEST FOR: Rewriting characters' fates, swapping text between letters, absurd branches and black humor, intertwined suspense stories, and a pleasant soundtrack. ⊖ NOT FOR: Rigorous reasoning with little trial and error, a fully developed ensemble cast, a complete, solid long-form plot, a lighthearted, comforting tone throughout, and plenty of new postgame stories. ▣ Critical Benchmarks: Metacritic Switch 73/100 · IGN Japan Switch 8/10. ◆ Opening "If everything is destined, what is the point of free choice?" WILL: A Wonderful World is a text puzzle adventure. As a god, you read characters' letters, drag specified fragments into a new order, and swap them between related letters. Moving the same sentence can change its meaning and consequences.

This game surely has the potential to be translated into English. Plot: 10/10 Don't want to spoil this game too much so please check for yourself. Music: 10/10 Never expected such high quality music to appear in a Chinese IF game!!! Shocked by the first several tunes. Last time I was shocked by a game's BGM was in undertale... Gameplay: 8.5/10 Noval idea and brilliant language tricks, also some surprises which expand the depth of this game in mid-late game, but is a little bit repetitive. Overall: 9/10 Extraordinary plot, amazing music, interesting puzzles, diggable lore. -0.5 some of the choices are not so 'logical' on a second thought. +1 The music and text coordinate so well in this game, creating a highly immersive experience. -0.5 could have more branches and endings, maybe add them in a DLC? In conclusion, if you are a fan of traditional interactive fiction games, or games l

I went and completed all the achievements before making this review so that there would be no loose ends. First of all, I'll say that this visual novel is a hidden gem. The only reason I even found this is because of Steam's 2018 Summer Sale. The gameplay is actually not as deep as it looks because you can only move the text in the white boxes and you can't place it before the first black box and after the last black box. Gameplay is not really an important thing in visual novels unless the game is designed to be played like something similar to Danganronpa or Neptunia and gameplay isn't really a deciding factor if you're looking for a good story. They did forget one thing though and that is the ability to read what a character previously said so if you accidentally pressed continue, you pretty much need to restart from a previous save file just to get the opportunity to see the dialog

One of the best VN I've ever played, also China's best VN ever made in my opinion. What I really liked about this game is the playstyle, as the game description said, you get to help the people who sent you letter by manipulating their fate, despite changing one person's fate, the aftermath, butteryfly effect will always happen and sometimes it's just things that does not matter, but sometimes it will change the other characters' fate dramatically, it's just very fun to try to balance everything and explore all the possible outputs of what you have changed. The game offers two difficulties, normal and super hard , but the differences are not that big, normal will highlight the important keywords in the letter for you while super hard don't, so under super hard mode, if your ability of understanding is good, you can solve the game by just reading the text carefully, there's some part re

Oh man, hopefully I can make your situation a little better. I may be a goddess, but even I have limits. With a vast selection of games, and many tastes accounted for, it’s not out there that a game you might find interesting not be translated to a language you know. Devastation sets in as you know that you may never be able to experience the game. Will: A Wonderful World was one of them for me when I saw it first release. You can probably imagine my delight when I heard it will actually get an English translation and later on, got it implemented a little under a year after release. Let’s jump right in, shall we? There’s an urban legend where if you write down your troubles, hold it in your hands, and pray, a god will hear you and change your fate. This legend spread everywhere, but it just stayed a legend where only a few people will hold belief in it. After all, changing someone’s fa
