The story
What will you do when the last sky comes? The story follows a group of Tokyo high school students through a mystery revolving around a prophecy about the end of the world and they try to find their own "Wonderful Everyday". Wonderful Everyday: Down the Rabbit-Hole is a visual novel with multiple routes which develops a story based on a few concepts: "the sky and the world", "the beginning and the end", "literature and science", "savior and hero", "brother and sister".
What it’s like
Soft anime-style character art over painted Tokyo backdrops, with washed daylight through school windows and a recurring preoccupation with the sky, which gives the screens a quiet, slightly melancholy brightness. The soundtrack leans on gentle piano and ambient strings that drop out for tense beats, and the text-driven pacing lets long stretches of conversation breathe before a reveal lands. The vibe is wistful and cerebral, a mix of teenage drift and creeping dread, with a rabbit-hole sense of things growing stranger the deeper you read. Intensity is high: the sexual content is explicit and central to some routes, there is graphic gore and violence, and the disturbing turns are played for shock as well as mood. Its arcs follow young people trying to find meaning as the world seems to close in, and the family and romantic ties are tangled. It suits adult players who want a story-rich, philosophical mystery and don't mind explicit material and grim turns, and it is not suited to anyone seeking something gentle.
