WILL: A Wonderful World is a visual novel/narrative driven type of game. The main premise: the protagonist is a god who is tasked with receiving prayers from people in the form of letters, on which they should strive to help the sender on their troubles. The way to do this is by re-arranging key parts of the letter that will quite literally re-write the events that happened and create a new outcome.

The game follows the stories of several different characters across different countries and even across time, letters will sometimes be linked to one and other, at times because they're parallel events from two perspectives, but others simply from certain similar factors on their content. With the gameplay mechanic in place, you should change up the order of events or facts between the letters to allow the different characters to continue their own stories. As you progress you'll also unveil more of the story behind the gods handling these prayers.

I had zero knowledge of the game before playing, but the description of "become a god and change the outcome of events" caught my attention completely. I really enjoyed the creativity that went into the letters, even when adding something that didn't quite fit into a scenario, the story would then present a twist of the ongoing events to make fit of whatever you added. There are many ends that can be discovered depending on how you order letters, some of which will even add different branches of how a story develops.

On top of just re-arranging letters, some are even puzzles that you must solve by correctly arranging the options provided, i fount it pretty clever given how restrictive the presentation is.

The story itself takes several turns, it can get quite dark with heavy topics at times, so its not your average one where every single trouble gets fixed in the end. Certain outcomes on characters can end up affecting other characters stories, though it doesn't happen a whole lot. It reminded me a bit of 428 Shibuya Scramble, but on a much, much toned down level. Either way I was very satisfied with the game, it took me a bit over 20 hours to complete so it is not that massive, and the flow of individual letters can help you divide playing through it with good places to stop for a session, I really recommended trying it out if you enjoy narrative games.
