About

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 can't recommend this enough. This story is evocative in the most beautiful and painful of ways. This is the first I have played of it, I know that it has been polished many a time over the years before this recent release and it really feels polished. It is a long story, it is a dark one. It is a lense over the reoccuring atrocities and misteps of being human. I truly can't fault it. The only thing I would recommend is checking out Our Fantastic Wonderland before or after this. There comes a time about 80% through that the game recommends you check it out to give a bit of character context that exists in that mini story for the final leg of this one, but doing so at the 80% mark is a jarring and frankly regretable time to do so. It pulls you out of Our Wonderland at a turbulent time into a juxtaposition. If you feel you need a bit of a breather from the heavy story Our Fantastic Wonderland does that, but I am not one of those people. I want to feel the full impact, to hold my breath until the claws of the world finally release. The character "introduced" at the end that Our Fantastic Wonderland gives context to is very very easily summarized in the mind as a character from a point in the characters lives we hadn't seen, which works. Doesn't lessen the story to not know. Won't say more as I don't want to hint at spoilers, but wanted people aware because I think the warning/recommendation should have been at the very start or not at all. ANYWAYS, absolutely fantastic story. Is one of the best ones I have ever experienced. P.S. The LGBTQIA+ representation is real, not just a tag for the existence of a side character just as a heads up.

10/10 the exact kind of game I'll never stop talking about to friends
The visuals, the story, the way you feel like you are a part of this game is so real. Iggy is so relatable and I feel everyone needs a man like Genzou in their life. Yeah, mistakes were made but ALL the characters made them. It's what makes this game amazing. I love the reset option, how you are given the choice on how to proceed. Not to mention the dialogue, it made me tear up more then once. Made me laugh, cry, get angry, sad, just so many emotions in this game. It does deal with a LOT of triggering topics, so be aware and read through the list before playing. Thank you to the creator for this masterpiece. I hope your pillow is cool on both sides forever <3
An extremely compelling story. The writing is some of, if not the best I have ever read. It made me tear up on multiple occasions. It is definitely worth read/play.
I too first played this on itch.io and yeah man it rocked me to my core Life sure hit these people hard and it's a testament to the writing because I was crying at several points, I viscerally reacted during some scenes, and I sympathise with every character The companion games are awesome too, check those out, and it's mindblowing that this is the work of a single person, especially after seeing the remaster and the animated cutscenes?? Thank you Carrot for this work of art
This is by far the best VN I've experienced in a while, and I find it crazy that it is free. This isn't a passive VN; it not only has a brilliant story, but is also interactive in a way that makes you engaged and [i]invested[/i]. I wasn't bored for a second. Not all the characters are readily likeable, but you WILL learn more about them and, if you don't come to like them, you will at least understand why they are the way they are. Unlike some games I've played, the options don't try to force you into liking any character or make you choose between extreme sentiments. Did I mention it's free? If you read the content warnings and aren't put off, there's literally NO reason to not play it.
I truly don't even know where to begin. That was genuinely one of the best games I've ever played. To say this game was life-changing for me would be an understatement, I feel like I've completely changed my outlook on life. I didn't know much of anything coming into this game; the most prior knowledge I had was through artwork that I've been following on Instagram for the past few months since it popped up on my feed, mostly of Iggy and Genzou. Since then, I've only heard bits and pieces about this, but have been really excited to try it out since I've adored this creator's works. This game plays with your heart and in the best way possible. There were so many tense, thrilling moments where I genuinely could not tell what would happen next. Each twist shocked me to my core, keeping me so invested in how the story would play out. The art style is so unique, I can't say I've seen anything quite like it. The backgrounds were gorgeous to look at, and they really helped to elevate the scenes. The writing was phenomenal, I felt like I could always picture myself in these moments very clearly. The romance throughout was executed extremely well and honestly felt very realistic. I went the Iggy/Genzou route and was thoroughly pleased. It was so heartwarming to see all of the buildup throughout the story payoff. The after story segment was so damn cute!! I couldn't stop gushing over it the whole time. There's such a great deal of themes touched upon in this story that explore various topics of identity, all illustrated beautifully. I can't stop myself from thinking about this game even now after I just finished it. I'll be obsessing over this for weeks, it's truly one of the greatest stories I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I really hope to see more of these characters in the future, you can tell that so much love and passion went into this incredible project. Please keep up the amazing work!
Our Wonderland is more of an experience than a visual novel. I played this back on itch a few years ago and was gob smacked at how hard this story hit me. The writing, character development, and pacing are amazing. One of the best stories, and characters, I have encountered as a VN enjoyer. The game itself is gorgeous with hundreds of hand drawn character sprites and full page images. Our Wonderland is truly a piece of art that you can feel the love and devotion that was poured into it. I love horror but I also appreciate the censored option for people who are squeamish. Please play this game you will not regret it.
I played this game around a year ago when it was out on Itch and I loved it. This remastered version with it's improved art and bonus content had me falling in love with the story and it's characters for the second time. If you like horror and queer themes being explored, you should give this game a try!
PROTECT GENZOU AT ALL COSTS This game is so cool, Carrot should stop torturing Genzou for everyone's well being
