Wide Ocean Big Jacket is a short narrative adventure developed by Turnfollow, released in 2020 for PC, Mac, Linux, Nintendo Switch, and iOS. The game follows an aunt and uncle who take their middle-school niece and her boyfriend on an overnight camping trip, with players switching between all four characters across 20 chapters. Activities reflect the rhythms of an ordinary camping excursion — roasting hot dogs over a fire, birdwatching, telling ghost stories, and wandering along the beach. Eight explorable areas are rendered in a distinctive 2D/3D art style, and the script runs to approximately 10,000 words of dialogue. The experience lasts roughly 60 to 90 minutes and focuses on character interaction and quiet, everyday moments rather than challenge or conflict. Content advisories note a frank platonic conversation between an adult and a tween about sex and consent, as well as a scene depicting verbal harassment of younger teens by older ones.
