The Wreck wins both Apple Design Award and App Store Award

The Wreck, our visual novel about loss, grief, resilience and hope, was released earlier this year on iPhone and Android. And Apple loved it! So much so that they decided to celebrate us with two awards.

First, in last June, they decided to pick us for the very prestigious Apple Design Awards, in the “Social impact” category.

But Apple didn’t stop there, and they’re now gifting us with an App Store Award, in the “Cultural Impact” category.

Here’s what Apple had to say about the project:
“In the visual novel The Wreck, players follow alongside the story of Junon, a writer who is abruptly called to a hospital to make a life-changing decision that will impact her family forever. The game is eloquently written through deep and intimate narratives that reflect stressful situations, and invites players to think about their choices throughout a nuanced and powerful gameplay experience.”

In this 3D visual novel, follow failed screenwriter Junon as she attempts to make it through the most pivotal day in her life. Relive the past, alter the present, and embrace the future, or without your help, Junon’s story might end in a wreck.

The Wreck, The Pixel Hunt’s new game!

Today’s a very special day for us at The Pixel Hunt. After keeping quiet for a time that honestly felt like forever, the moment has come for us to share our new project with the WORLD!

So here’s The Wreck, a mature 3D visual novel about sisterhood, motherhood, grief and survival.
In it, you’ll follow failed screenwriter Junon as she attempts to make it through the most pivotal day in her life. Relive the past, alter the present, and embrace the future… or watch Junon’s story end in a wreck.

At The Pixel Hunt, we’re commited to making games that stand out by the way they are written and the stories they tell. So what can you expect from The Wreck? Well, hopefully interesting dialogues, lovable characters, harrowing reveals and a whole lot of feels. But if you’ve played our previous title, Bury me, my Love, that shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. Also get ready for an incredible art direction, great sound design, and a score that should stick with you for a very long time.

We’re still working hard on finishing the game – we’re recording amazing voice actresses as we speak actually! If all goes well, you’ll be able to play The Wreck by the end of this Spring. In the meantime, we’ll keep you updated either here or on our socials.

We hope you’ll love playing The Wreck as much as we loved working on it!
