What do you think?

Wait! This game is beatiful

A beautiful game of a dark subject.
This was really hard for me. Both as a past suicidal person and as a gamer. I couldn't save anyone and that wasn't easy.

Thank you for drawing attention to this.

I have no words...I just recorded the prologue and it was amazing. The level of depth and emotion put into every conversation was truly astounding, I can't wait to experience the full game.

This is giving me Dean Lied Vibes, where a paranoid man works extra hard due to the fact that the person who killed his parents might just kill him, and loses himself in the process.

Wait, I just spoiled a Roblox Game.

There’s something lonely about this game. But that’s what makes it interesting

Wait! Life is Beautiful! - W!LIB! is an interactive psychological thriller about suicides with a touch of black humor. Playing the game is like watching a spine-tingling film or TV show where the viewer is immersed in the main character’s tense mental state.

OUR WEBSITE

HIS NAME IS WILL, AND THIS IS THE STORY OF HIS LIFE

The story revolves around a young man, an ordinary office clerk. He’s an everyman, not a hero or a wizard. As we watch him, we lose ourselves in his emotional state. He’s exhausted by the monotony of life and hounded by thoughts about the meaninglessness of existence.

To hell with it all! It's time for a change!

SUICIDE BRIDGE

Abandoning his monotonous and meaningless office job, Will tries to imbue his life with new meaning by saving people who have given up all hope of finding it themselves. Every night he goes to a bridge beloved by suicide victims, hoping to save as many lives as possible.

WAIT! LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!

It isn't just the name of the game. The main character speaks this fateful phrase every time he tries to strike up a conversation with another visitor to the bridge. Every story is unique — you’ll have to learn to cope with unpredictable reactions. Just remember that you can't save everyone.

THE RIGHT TO DIE

While hoping to save as many lives as possible, Will encounters an unexpected opposing force: a group of “freedom of choice” activists led by a spiritual guru are actively campaigning for a person’s right to commit suicide. Will the main character be able to resist them?

MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS

You can't live on happiness alone! Having lost his regular income, Will has to borrow money from his parents. However, he isn't completely dependent on them because he occasionally manages to get “tips” from the grateful people he’s saved and their family members or bribes from those who want to rid themselves of an unexpected savior.

I'M JUST MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, OFFICER

When it comes to mass deaths, anyone can become a suspect. Will has to explain himself to the police on more than one occasion. Why was he the last person to see these people alive before they committed suicide?

PSYCHEDELIC DREAMS

The psyche is a fragile thing. Needless to say, you can't talk to suicidal people every day without letting it get to you. Will eventually starts having psychedelic dreams that give rise to the sensation of an approaching mental breakdown and the protagonist’s fear of it.

WHERE WILL IT ALL END?

Like every interactive film, Wait! Life is Beautiful! has multiple endings. Some of them may seem like an obvious development of the narrative, but others will shock you and subvert your expectations. How will the story end? It’s all up to you.

Here is another haunting dream that Will will eventually have. All of the dreams have a specific meaning, what do you think is the meaning of this dream?

This character may seem strange at first, however it comes with an important message. Mental health affects people in multiple ways and everyone needs unique help. What may seem crazy to a group of people, could well be that person's reality.

Do you remember the dream that we shared last Saturday? This dream is a direct reflection of Will's struggles to save the people on the bridge. In the dream, he has to catch people as they fall from the bridge, just like he tries to do during the day.
