The Wreck release date set for March, new trailer

The Pixel Hunt today confirmed a release date for The Wreck, its 3D visual novel for Switch. The title launches on March 14, 2023.

The Wreck was previously made known for Switch last August. It was initially planned for 2022, but it was quietly delayed. Thankfully, today’s date appears to be final.

Here’s an overview of the game with more information:

The Wreck is a mature 3D visual novel about sisterhood, motherhood, grief and survival. Players follow failed screenwriter Junon as she attempts to make it through the most pivotal day in her life, navigating difficult conversations and piecing together where things went wrong.

With her mother in critical condition and her mind on the point of collapse, Junon must relive the past, alter the present, and embrace the future – or else her story will end in a wreck. The game received an Honourable Mention for Excellence in Narrative from the IGF in 2023.

Key Features

• Explore Junon’s scattered thoughts through interactive text and dialogue
• Meet a small cast of nuanced, complex characters
• Assemble a non-linear narrative exploring themes of trauma & recovery
• Experience the powerful story from the creators of Bury Me, My Love
