Supposedly Wonderful Future feels a bit like a cross between a heady sci-fi visual novel and a social experiment, focused on recording players’ choices when faced with moral dilemmas. Unfortunately, none of these are implemented in a way that serves the story in a meaningful way, making the experience, while unique, ultimately flat and unfulfilling.

Critic reviews
- I’ve been fairly critical throughout this review but I did enjoy the game. The story’s premise is interesting and it’ll probably tickle your feels without relying on cliches. If you enjoy narrative adventures above all other genres, Supposedly Wonderful Future is worth considering. It’s not wordy wank, but ultimately there are much better sci-fi stories out there, both in book and game form.
- 7.0Supposedly Wonderful Future has left me considering the events of the game, and whether my moral choices make me a monster or a model citizen. It doesn’t really do much wrong, but if you didn’t like point-and-click games with a heavy amount of text before, you won’t enjoy them after, either.
- 8.0It is a wonderfully designed point-and-click adventure that truly plays on the emotions, with players having to make tough choices where no option is really good or fully satisfying, just like in real life. This being set in a Supposedly Wonderful Future adds much to the experience as it both opens up for interesting choices with unfamiliar topics, but also shows of a great cynicism, and at times hope and curiosity.
