Will: A Wonderful World

Will: A Wonderful World is a narrative puzzle game in which you play a god who wakes in a strange space. A talking dog is your only companion, and letters arrive from people at turning points in their lives. You cannot enter the mortal world; instead, you change events by rearranging the words in each letter.

The people who write

The letters come from people including a quiet nerd caught in a one-sided crush, a struggling painter near despair, a rookie cop eager for justice and a first real case, and a young woman caught between her dreams and reality. A stray cat also writes, wanting nothing more than dried fish. Their stories form a web of connected lives, with links that become visible as perspectives shift.

Rearrange the events

You drag and reorder the sequence of events described in each letter, changing cause and effect and rewriting reality. A small alteration can have far-reaching consequences: changing “take one step to the right” to “swing the racket,” for example, may turn a serious sports injury into a victory. Changes to one person's letter can also affect strangers they have never met.

Choices and consequences

There is no perfect choice, and every decision has a cost. Deduction and imaginative experiments can both help you find new outcomes, including endings you might not expect. The stories unfold through text, illustrations and music, as you search among countless combinations for a path to a “Wonderful World.”
