‘Wrong Box’ is a Journey Back to Forgotten, Cluttered Websites

You stumble across your old desktop while cleaning your childhood room in Wrong Box, kicking off an adventure into the internet spaces and digital landscapes you’d long left behind.

Wrong Box is a stylized look back at what it used to be like to go on the internet years ago, but through the lens of someone looking back on it years later. It’s a journey into trying to reach those online places now, and of what it’s like to look in on the chaos and color years later.

Equal parts soothing and overwhelming, Wrong Box is a look into just how rapidly our online lives have changed over the years.

Wrong Box is available now on Itch.io.
