In this weekly feature, I share game titles from my various gaming wishlists. I share screenshots and video from the developer, talk about my expectations, and generally just ramble about why the title made it onto my list in the first place. This week's choice is Wide Ocean Big Jacket by Turnfollow.

WHY I WANT IT
The many praises being sung about this casual game are all echoing the same thing: the narrative is on-point and resonates with those who are playing it (except for the 2 negative reviews on Steam who apparently have the attention span of goldfish and couldn't even play a full hour of it). The fact that it also has a Teen ESRB rating says that it definitely has more mature themes and is likely to make players think about the overall picture and the small moments in between. Not everyone likes a cerebral game, and if you're the type of person who wants less dialogue and more action then this is probably not a good candidate for your own wishlist.
However, if you're interested in experiencing the narrative that landed a Finalist spot in Narrative Excellence at the Independent Games Festival, then you might want to add this game to your wishlist -- or use my Humble Partner link below to support charity with your purchase!
