Loved this game. Can't wait to play the next routes. On another note, I was unable to comment on Aloners after playing it along time ago so just want to say that it was one of the best games I have played too.
This game is amazing! I absolutely love it! I can't wait for the next installment. I enjoyed the writing so much; you had my stomach tied in knots many times wondering if I did the right thing. And best of all, I felt I could be the heroine I wanted to be without being penalized and forced to play a certain way. It's a truly organic experience--so natural and so enjoyable. Thank you!
Thank you! It's such an important part of the games I write, that players feel like they have agency without being punished, so I'm very glad that you felt like you could be the heroine you wanted to be.
I seriously loved Ran. The second I saw him I knew I had to play this game. I wasn't really sure if I was making the right choices and was scared I would get a bad ending or something but I didn't. I was able to stay true to myself in the choices and get a good ending and that was nice. And to be honest, I don't even care if he is a "monster," I just want to squeeze him so tight. He was exactly the type that I love going after in these types of games. And his story was so amazing and sad. Actually, I really loved the entire story and the only parts I had problems with was literally because I felt like I was going to lose him, which is amazing that the story managed to make me feel so strongly. And I could literally feel the sexual tension between him and the main girl. So good. I don't know if I will be able to get over the feeling of being attached to him...uggggghh his personality and looks left a lasting impression on me.
I'm so glad I decided to buy this. And I am so glad this was created! Thank you for this masterpiece!
I'm so glad that you loved him! And thank you for writing this comment. I can't tell you how much I appreciate knowing that you enjoyed this story the way you did.
The game was AMAZING!! I loved every bit of!! tbh, my friend lent it to me first and I just couldn't live not having my own version of this!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH <3
I bought this and absolutely love it! If you are after some solid characterisation, interesting premises, romance, angst and HEA OR bittersweet ending def recommend.
I enjoyed Ran's route so much, the art is soooo gorgeous, and I loved the fact that you could pick which rating you wanted, I picked mature of course but it was still nice to have the choice. I can't wait for Bahadur route, ugh I enjoyed Wilder soo much. Also I hope there's epilogues for all the routes released. I'm dying to get a glimpse into how Ran and the mc fare.
I'm glad that you liked the Teen/Mature choice. The best of both worlds, right?
Bahadur's Story will be next, so I hope you enjoy that. And there will be epilogues for all characters included in the full version of Wilder, to be released after the individual routes are done.
I think they're attending to family matters and will let us know from their dev. blog when they're back? Although I believe last they posted they would still release Bahadour sometime this month even with the delays
OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD! THIS WAS AWESOME! LOVED EVERY MINUTE. HAD ME BREATHLESS, ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. CRYING, IT ALL! THANK YOU SO MUCH! more please :D
I don't know where to start... This game was so beautiful in every way. The characters are all well designed and I couldn't help it but feel their emotions. And the story is just wonderful. I cried at the end lmao this was so touching my heart couldn't take it. This game is without a doubt in my top 3. Anyway, great job !
A great story. I loved Ran, I almost don't want to play the other stories yet to be released. The characters and world building had great depth, so my resistance will likely be futile. :P The other reviewers have said it all. I look forward to playing the rest of the games.
I loved this game sooo much! Even though I couldn't see the dialog box at all (couldn't fix it either, sadly), so some text was pretty much invisible to me, I still enjoyed the story. It was amazing how their relationship developped along the road. I pretty much acted as if I would in real life and got Ran's sweet ending. I am NOT going for the bitter end though, I think that would just destroy me xD I'm especially amazed at how you handled sex scenes. You were vague, but it was still easy to figure out what they were doing. Plus, you left a lot to our imagination and that was great. I can't wait for your other routes, although I think Ran will remain my favorite forever. I'm a sucker for guys with his personality, white/black hair and red eyes (oh, those red eyes *swoons*) :D
Thank you for playing, and for your kind words. I can't wait to see if anyone else is able to push Ran off his throne for you... ;-)
And the missing dialogue box should not be happening. If you are still having this issue, please email me (sonnet009@gmail) so we can get it fixed. You deserve a 100% working product!
Hi! I think I managed to fix this issue myself, a while ago. I just needed to hold Shift while loading up the game and then change graphics acceleration to Force Software Renderer. I guess my PC is lacking a bit in this department and the wrong option was chosen automatically.
Anyways, I finally was able to see the whole text clearly and that made my day! I know your next character is Bahadur, but I am soooooooo super interested in your other three guys. Can you give us a little hint, perhaps? :)
Initial concept, you have my interest. Notice it's by the maker of Aloners, I cannot purchase fast enough! What can I say, it's amazing just as expected! I just love the writing in this, especially for this character there's the perfect mix of humor, and stabbing my heart (in the best possible way). So excited for future updates on this project!!
Sort of. In the world of Wilder, the magical-granting-wishes djinn are a thing of the past, or maybe even of legend. Modern djinn in this world have very little what is called "old magic" in them anymore.
Love this game and especially Ran I think hell be my fav :D Just one question..I got sweet ending, is there a best ending too? With resolving who is you know what? :D Do you maybe have a guide? And the gallery is missing is it coming soon?
I've been waiting for few years for this...and hopefully just few months away from the full version.... Purchased Ran's and getting even more sure that this game is really worth waiting for!!
Very wonderful story! I could not stop until it was finished (at 2AM with work in the morning, haha) and I definitely got emotional throughout the journey. I cannot wait for the other routes!!
Hello!!! I just finished the full Wilder game, and lemma just sum it up fast, it was absolutely brilliant. But I'm wondering why there was no 'gallery' option? :o The option itself was present in the demo.
There will be no gallery for the individual character stories. But once the complete edition of Wilder comes out (with all 5 character routes + extra epilogues) it will include a CG gallery.
Any luck figuring out the problems mentioned by lahatmahal and Sacelene? I'm having the same issues. Would you still like more screen shots? It's kind of killing me that I can't play the game yet, lol. Because I am sooo excited!
Hi. I have spoken to various people that have managed to get past this issue, but haven't managed to pin down the exact cause yet. Please email me at sonnet009@gmail.com with screenshots so we can work on it together.
After the marvelous experience I had with "Aloners", I had to go ahead and buy this game; the first time that I did so, actually.
As expected, Sonnet009 didn't disappoint me. The story is wonderful, with a perfect and intense flow. I just went through a rollercoaster of emotions that I can't explain (and haven't yet recovered from, as I'm typing this review). Ran is such a complex, lovable and interesting character that even after almost three hours playing this game, it left me wanting more.
Congratulations, Sonnet! My expectations for this game were high, but you've managed to surpass them like always! I'm eagerly waiting for the other routes!
(...Also, sorry if my English sucks. I'm not a native speaker)
It's fine, I didn't need my heart anymore... What a brilliant story! :D I got so invested that by the end I could hardly breathe I was so worried/excited to find out what would happen!
Hello, bought the game but I seem to be experiencing the same problems as lahatmahal. I could also play the demo just fine, but now the text boxes are messed up. I tried the solutions you offered to no success, I was wondering if I could also email you in regards to my problem?

Oh man, if only this were on steam, then I could buy it!!
Sorry! :-/ No immediate plans to make this available on Steam. Hopefully one day, but until then itch.io is the only place to buy Wilder: Ran's Story.
I seriously loved Ran. The second I saw him I knew I had to play this game. I wasn't really sure if I was making the right choices and was scared I would get a bad ending or something but I didn't.

You can download the demo from the official page. :-)
The game was AMAZING!! I loved every bit of!! tbh, my friend lent it to me first and I just couldn't live not having my own version of this!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH <3
waiting for the other guys to be released
Thank you for purchasing! I'm really glad that you enjoyed Ran's Story.
I need more of this! It was spellbinding!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :-) More is on the way!
I bought this and absolutely love it! If you are after some solid characterisation, interesting premises, romance, angst and HEA OR bittersweet ending def recommend.
Thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. :-)
But like? Where is the gallery? Is missing?
The gallery's only going to be in the full version with all the routes in it
Thanks!
I enjoyed Ran's route so much, the art is soooo gorgeous, and I loved the fact that you could pick which rating you wanted, I picked mature of course but it was still nice to have the choice. I can't wait for Bahadur route, ugh I enjoyed Wilder soo much. Also I hope there's epilogues for all the routes released. I'm dying to get a glimpse into how Ran and the mc fare.

Bahadur's Story will be next, so I hope you enjoy that. And there will be epilogues for all characters included in the full version of Wilder, to be released after the individual routes are done.
Yay I'm absolutely ecstatic, also I hope everything is all right with your family:)
omg i can't wait to see ran again
Yay it means we will get to see him againxD
I can't wait for Bahadur, seriously the wait is killllllling me. So close yet so far TTnTT
Haha! I know it's a long wait. He won't be ready for April, but soon. Hang in there!
Good story! I hope we get to see more of Bahadur.
Bahadur's Story is next to be released, actually. :-)
I can't stop thinking about this game. It was amazing. Any estimation on when another route will be getting close to being out?
I think they're attending to family matters and will let us know from their dev. blog when they're back? Although I believe last they posted they would still release Bahadour sometime this month even with the delays
Thanks! I will look for their dev. page. :( I hope everything goes okay for them. :(
OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD! THIS WAS AWESOME! LOVED EVERY MINUTE. HAD ME BREATHLESS, ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. CRYING, IT ALL! THANK YOU SO MUCH! more please :D
LOL! Thank you so much! (And more is a-comin'...)
SO SOOOOOO excited!
This game was such a delight! Loved every minute of it. <3
I'm glad! Thanks. :-)

I'm glad it didn't disappoint! Thank you so much.
This... I have no words for it. I literally just finished playing and I loved every inch of it.
Oh, I'm so glad! :-) Thank you very, very much for playing, and for sharing your response.
You're very welcome. Thank you for making something so brilliant. I'm looking forward to your future releases.
soooo he's a djinn? like a genie?
Sort of. In the world of Wilder, the magical-granting-wishes djinn are a thing of the past, or maybe even of legend. Modern djinn in this world have very little what is called "old magic" in them anymore.
so are there to be more stories added? :)oh and where can i get the demo? i want to have a look first before i purchase
There are 5 routes, to be released one-by-one, followed by a complete edition. The demo can be downloaded here.
oooo do you maybe have an ETA for the next route? really excited for bahadur
Love this game and especially Ran I think hell be my fav :D Just one question..I got sweet ending, is there a best ending too? With resolving who is you know what? :D Do you maybe have a guide? And the gallery is missing is it coming soon?
Thanks for playing!
There are two endings, Bitter and Sweet. Parts of the mystery left unsolved will be addressed in other routes.
I just posted a guide to Ran's Story here.
And the gallery will not be present in the individual routes, but will be present in the complete edition that will be released afterwards.
Congratulations for wilder's release! ^^
I've been waiting for few years for this...and hopefully just few months away from the full version.... Purchased Ran's and getting even more sure that this game is really worth waiting for!!
Thanks for your hard work! Keep growing! ^^
Yay! Thanks!
And don't worry -- I'm still hard at work! :-)
Very wonderful story! I could not stop until it was finished (at 2AM with work in the morning, haha) and I definitely got emotional throughout the journey. I cannot wait for the other routes!!
Oops! Hope work wasn't too rough for you! ;-) And, thank you!
Oh, I'm so glad! :-) Thank you.
Loved it, I looked (and probably overlooked) but when might Bahadur be released? And the other stories actually. :x
Right now, we're on-track for a late March release for Bahadur. :-)
This was lovely! Congratulations on a wonderful game.
Thank you so much!

Ah, okay. Does that mean Ran is getting an epilogue?
Yes! All 5 characters will get their own epilogue in the complete edition.
I'm even more eager for the full release, then!!!! Thank you for your hard work!

finished :) good game, really enjoyed it, thnx a lot! also can't wait for other stories ;) this wilder world is very compelling.
I'm glad you think so! I hope you enjoy the rest of the stories, too.
All I have to say is that this story is absolute perfection. :)
Wow. Thank you! :-D

It's fine, I didn't need my heart anymore... What a brilliant story! :D I got so invested that by the end I could hardly breathe I was so worried/excited to find out what would happen!
Cannot wait for the rest of the routes!
Oh, thank you! *works furiously on the rest of the routes*
just got wilder ;) (gonna play it later after my work is done, thnx for the game, demo was very interesting :)
I hope you enjoy! :-)
