Free Mac visual novel app
Wednesday for Mac is a free visual novel like Haikyuu Otome, where you’ll dive into the developer’s mind exploring relationships and life transitions. There’s a free soundtrack included, while you can also donate funds to receive an official artbook. It doesn’t feature many gameplay mechanics and is more suited for idle players.
The game has an emotional storyline that may take you a few hours to work through. You’ll make choices along the way that doesn’t have a major impact on the plot. There’s more time spent on reading than actually playing.
Since the game focuses more on text than gameplay, the 12,000 words present a detailed plot that will keep you reading for hours. If you’re a fan of clicking to skip text, you may miss the point of playing Wednesday. You may also not notice the story points that are essential to understanding the choices later.
Detailed storyline
Pay for the Artbook
If you enjoy the art, you can send a donation to receive the artbook used for creating Wednesday.

Also, sending a donation is a great way to support your favourite developers to encourage them to continue their great work.
Noisy soundtrack
Another free aspect to Wednesday is the soundtrack that delivers sombre dark tones from the band FRENZIED DESTRUCTION. While the music is mostly noisy soundtracks, it may appeal to many gamers who are going through hard times at the moment.

With the long lines of text, it will keep you gaminh for several hours on end, especially if you pay attention to the storyline.
