Wait! Life is beautiful!

Wait! Life is Beautiful! is an interactive story about Will, an ordinary young clerk worn down by monotonous work and lonely nights. He leaves his office job to try to give his life new meaning by helping people who have lost hope. Each night, he goes to a bridge known for suicide attempts and tries to talk with the people he meets there.

Conversations on the bridge

You learn about each person’s problems and choose words in an attempt to talk them down. Their reactions are unpredictable, and Will cannot save everyone. He often masks his fear with black humor and irony, while the stories he hears and his regrets about those who have died weigh on him. The events and characters are fictional; the story aims to prompt reflection rather than promise that everyone can be saved.

Conflicts and consequences

Will faces a group of “freedom of choice” activists, led by a spiritual guru, who campaign for a person’s right to commit suicide. He also has to explain himself to the police when people he last saw alive later die. After losing his regular income, he borrows money from his parents, and sometimes receives tips from people he has helped and their families, or bribes from people who want him to stop intervening.

Dreams and endings

The strain of his nightly conversations leads Will to experience psychedelic interactive dreams that you also take part in. The story has multiple endings: some follow an apparent course of events, while others subvert expectations.
