The Paris That Inspired Wonderfall

Apr 9

The Paris That Inspired Wonderfall

Wonderfall takes place in a reimagined 1920 Paris, where a force called Entropy is turning the city to sand. To build that world, we started where any good reconstruction starts: with the real thing. Our environment team digs through archival photographs of the city, studies the buildings, the proportions, the textures, and rebuilds them in 3D.

We thought you might like to see what that looks like. Four streets. The archive photo, then what Entropy made of them.

Archive photographs by Charles Marville, who documented the streets of Paris in the 19th century.

Shopfronts and Cobblestones

The reference photo shows a tight Parisian street. “Comestibles” painted on the shop to the left, a “Rue de Perpignan” sign on the wall, storefronts squeezed together. Our version keeps that framing, the same narrow gap between buildings, the same wall-mounted gas lamp. But the cobblestones are gone. The ground is cracked. A broken cart sits there, already touched by Entropy.

Balconies and Tall Facades

In the archive photo, you can see the iron balconies on the left, windows stacked high, a gas lamp with an ornate bracket, a hand cart abandoned on the cobblestones. We kept a lot of this. The “Charcuterie des Trois” shopfront on the left with its wrought-iron sign bracket, the windows running up the facades, a streetlamp casting warm light in the distance. On the right, a large poster still clings to the wall. The pavement is broken apart. Rubble everywhere in the foreground. This is what Entropy does to a street.

Storefronts and Iron Fences

The archive shows “Bossuet Taillandier” beneath a large banner, cobblestones running toward an iron fence on the right, a gas lamp further down the road. Our version swaps the shop name for “Epicerie Generale” but keeps the layout: carts and barrels at street level, the fence on the right, worn textures on every surface. Same bones, different skin.

Archways and Wall Advertisements

One of our favorites. The reference has painted wall advertisements for “Besson, Constructeur d’instruments,” an archway at the end of the passage, a “Vins en Gros” shop across the way. In our reconstruction, the wall reads “27 Rue Larrey, Peintures, Vitrerie.” The archway still stands. Exposed pipes run along the walls now, chunks of stone are missing, and behind the gate there is a warm glow. Something is still going on back there.

A Word from the Team

“We rely on a blend of historical documentation and artistic reconstruction. We study period photographs to understand building structures, materials and proportions, then translate those elements into 3D models while staying as faithful as possible to the original volumes. We also put a lot of work into textures to capture the wear and imperfections characteristic of the city during that period. We tie everything together with lighting and atmosphere to faithfully recreate the feel of Paris.”

Meet Léon

This is the Paris that Léon calls home. He is a teenage orphan in a city that is slowly turning to sand. Most of the people he knew are gone, taken by a mysterious force called Entropy that is consuming Paris block by block. Léon is immune to it. He does not know why. And he is going to have to go deeper into these crumbling streets, shaping the sand itself, to find out.

More on Léon soon. Wishlist Wonderfall now to play the demo soon.

Thank you for wishlisting Wonderfall

Mar 12

In just a short time, more than 1,500 players have added Wonderfall to their wishlist. Seeing people discover the game and connect with its world has been both humbling and incredibly motivating for our small team.

Wonderfall is a story-rich narrative adventure set in a reimagined Paris, 1920. A mysterious force known as Entropy is slowly consuming the city. Streets collapse, monuments turn to sand, and entire districts fade into silence.

You play as Léon, a teenage orphan navigating the ruins of the Île de la Cité and its crumbling landmarks, searching for answers about what truly happened to Paris, and why he alone seems immune to what's destroying it.

Exploration is at the heart of the experience. You'll move through collapsing streets, hidden interiors, and rooftops suspended above the sand, gradually piecing together fragments of a city that refuses to be forgotten.

Léon carries a SandSpitter, a device that draws from the very substance consuming the city, using the matter produced by the city's dissolution. As he pushes deeper into the ruins, he discovers he can do more than shoot: he can shape. Sand becomes structure. Structure becomes passage. What destroys Paris is also what lets him move through it.

Every wishlist brings Paris one step closer to being found.

Thank you for being part of this.

More soon.

Wonderfall Revealed

Wonderfall Revealed

A story-rich narrative adventure set in a collapsing Paris, 1920.

Paris, 1920.

A mysterious force called Entropy is turning the city into sand.

We are proud to finally reveal Wonderfall, a story-rich narrative adventure set in a reimagined Paris as it is gradually consumed by a mysterious force known as Entropy.

In Wonderfall, you play as Léon, a young orphan who gradually discovers his ability to shape sand. As Entropy spreads across the city, monuments fracture, streets crumble, and entire districts turn into sand.

Your journey takes you through a disappearing Paris where exploration reveals fragments of what happened and what still lies beneath the ruins.

Explore a Collapsing Paris

Wonderfall takes place across Île de la Cité, the historic heart of Paris.

You will explore iconic locations including:

Notre Dame de Paris
Sainte Chapelle
Palais de Justice
Cité métro station
The rooftops and hidden interiors of Île de la Cité

From underground tunnels to cathedral rooftops, each location hides pieces of the story and new ways to move through the city.

A Narrative Adventure Focused on Discovery

Wonderfall is designed as a focused narrative experience where exploration and environmental challenges shape the journey.

As Léon, you will:

Traverse a collapsing city
Solve environmental obstacles embedded in the world
Slip past corrupted entities
Use sand abilities to create paths through the ruins

Encounters create moments of tension, but the experience remains centered on exploration and understanding what happened to Paris.

A Story About a City That Has Already Fallen

Wonderfall is not about saving Paris.

It is about walking through a city that is disappearing and uncovering why it is happening.

Through dialogue, environmental storytelling, and fragments scattered across the city, players gradually piece together the truth behind Entropy.

I have a few questions about the game

Will there be an opportunity to try out the game in a playtest or demo before release? How big and open will Paris be in the game – more linear with chapters or freely explorable? The idea of sand manipulation sounds exciting – will it only be used for puzzles or also for battles against the “relentless entities”? How important are the puzzles compared to exploration? Do you have to do a lot of puzzling, or are they meant more as a short break? Is the story told in a linear fashion or can you i...
