Wrong Number
♦ Website ♦ Bsky ♦ Discord ♦ Patreon ♦ TikTok ♦
Don't you hate getting phone calls from random people you don't know? I sure do.
But Luka?
Nah, he's got his way of turning a wrong number into a free movie date.
Yaoi | Comedy | Slice of Life | LGBTQIA+ | Australia
Luka De Castro is a carefree guy, he goes with the flow and tries to make the best of what life throws at him. So when he gets a wrong number call from a stranger in the middle of the night, instead of hanging up straight away he uses his charming personality to convince the stranger to take him to the movies instead of the person they originally intended.
Join Luka as he befriends Xander, and explore the many different types of relationships the pair could have, ranging from just being mates, to becoming friends with benefits, and so much more.
Aussie Setting: Wrong Number is set in Melbourne, Australia. It makes reference to real world locations and the characters speak with Aussie slang. A handy glossary feature has been included for our international players.
One Love Interest: One sexy man to get to know and try to win over.
Short Gameplay: With only 40k+ words, each ending in Wrong Number can be completed within 1-2 hours. Making it ideal for players with busy lives, people looking for a casual game to play, or players that just like to finish what they start.
Six Endings: Explore the 6 different ways Luka and Xander's relationship can grow, ranging from romantic to non-romantic, and varying degrees of physical intimacy.
Original Soundtrack: Over 10 amazing original tracks by our talented team of composers.
Voice Acting: Partial voice acting with an incredible international cast, with our two main characters being voices by Aussie talents, Xuan Vinh Huynh and Thomas G Burt.
NSFW content (18+): Wrong Number is intended for mature audiences, and contains 3 sex scenes, graphic imagery and written descriptions, and adults doing other adult things.
SFW route: For our streamer friends that are worried about getting flagged, the game has a Safe For Work route that does not depict any graphic imagery.

Do you have a high quality png of the game title anywhere? I plan on doing a let's play on this game, not many games where I can hear a bunch of Aussie slang. I think it'll be funny.
I've been meaning to create a press kit actually! Thanks for the reminder.
I'll create a folder for people to download by the end of the week.
Awesome, thank you so much.
Hey! The press kit is now up if you want to download it.
Happy gaming and I look forward to your let's play
Awesome thanks, I am looking forward to playing it later this week.
Do you have a release date for the steam release? and would it have achievements.
I'm holding off on purchasing and playing, I tried the demo and can't wait for the full release!
Hi Zakaries!
Yes, the steam release will be in November after the October Steam Next Fest. And there will be achievements added. :)
We've just hit a delay because of the additional CGs (the original CG artist is no longer working with us) so I will make an announcement about this soon.
Thanks for your patience
Exciting, thanks for replying. I'll be playing ^^
Hey I just got a copy sent through my curator page - I just want to extend my thanks!
I'm very much looking forward and I'm excited to play. And thanks again for implementing steam achievements, I'll be 100%ing it.
Thanks Zakaries!
Hope you enjoy it. It's my first time implementing steam achievements so if you come across any bugs please do let me know. Thanks.
:)
This game is adorable. I played 5 minutes of the demo and that was more than enough time to recognize the hard work and heart that went into it. Just purchased and am very much looking forward to experiencing the whole story. Thanks to everyone at WitPOP!
Thank you so much Zakmckracken!
I'm glad you liked it so far, and hope to hear your final thoughts after you've finished the game.
Happy Gaming!
This was an absolute banger of a game.
I identify with Xander as an overthinker and haven't had much luck in the relationship department myself.
As someone who grew up in Australia it was also very nostalgic.
Thanks, simster!
There's a little bit of Xander in all of us XD.
Glad you found it nostalgic, we need more games set in Australia!
Is it even possible to play full version on ipad 🥺👉👈
No, the full game is only playable on PC and Mac.
Having so much fun thusfar! I love the premise right fromt he get go and the chemistry is so good right off the bat 🥰
Thank you for playing TheCaliMack!
Fuck, where is hotline Miami
The walkthrough says there should be a scene where Luka tops ... I did every combo in the 18+ part and I cannot figure it out.... Anyone know?
Did you choose to hang up on Xander during the phone calls rather than pick up?
No, I answered. I thought it said it didn't matter. Ill try again Thank you!
Sorry I just double checked the walkthrough, you're right it shouldn't make a difference to the ending. (In the original script it did but I changed it so hanging up should only unlock extra scenes during the middle of the game.)
The correct order of choices should be:
(Luka tops Xander)
- "Offer to suck his... (18+)"
- "Cut him off."
- "Stay nude"
- "Leave the two of them alone."
When it gets to the third sex scene the second half of dialogue should change so that Xander let's Luka top him.
If you still have trouble please let me know.
Ya, it was definitely declining the phone call the first time (Thanks for that). I followed the rest of the answers and finally found it!! I’m so happy I asked… lol!! I loved the whole thing! I hope more love interests or a second one come out ♥️
woohoo! Glad it worked and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it :)
I did start making plans for a prequel (about Luka during his high school days) but am taking a break from developing games ATM due to personal reasons.
Hope I can return to it soon though :)
Thank you again for posting, it helps motivate me and I appreciate it.
ik theyre like dating but... i completely ship them
Sometimes the Itch search function really frustrates me. I've been on a big VN kick for about 2 years now and I thought I'd found everything that had already been released that was worth reading. And now I discover this has been out for over 6 months and had NEVER heard of it?!?! Unforgivable.
Great little visual novel. It's nice to find a project that limits it's scope but nails the feeling and tone. I don't always need some sweeping epic story and 6 dateable characters in a visual novel, sometimes a more contained story with great characters feels far more satisfying. As an Australian I cringed a little at some of the voice acting. There was one point where someone said Yarra and I died a little inside, but that was a minor gripe (I usually turn of voice acting in VNs completely to be honest). Xander was a treasure, and the relationship (no matter the ending) that developed between Xander and Luka was a breath of fresh air in the queer VN space. A very honest reflection of modern queer dating.
Thanks Lanceheyen!
I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
Haha! I think I know exactly which line you're talking about, the VA for Ash is one of the few that isn't an Aussie. But he still did a great job after we went through how to pronounce Yarra and Maccas, so I'm proud of him.
I'm glad you like Xander, he was a fun character to write and draw.
This game has everything I'm looking for in a visual novel. I loved everything about the all endings, but I want to highlight Luka, who is a protagonist with great charisma and who I wish I could see more of.
Thank you so much for the kind words badegg!
I'm glad you liked the game.
hahaha
I just played it and complete all endings! (thanks for the walkthrough guide ;)) Luka is very funny and enjoyable, it's refreshing to have a male lead confident and flirty. I really like all the characters, their personality & dynamics are both genuine and entertaining. Xander is very sweet and lovely but I especially fall in love with Ash. I love this kind of best friend relationship and hoped for an ending with him even a friend ending or whatsoever but sadly... :') I wonder if he had feelings for Luka when they were younger because there were some clues and one thing he said (or maybe I'm just dreaming haha) Are they any chance that you make an extra, epilogue, or spin-off of the game?
ALSO, the voices are just perfect for each character. Big thumbs up to the cast, the voices actors played very well. Not too much to feel awkward but well enough to seem convincing.
Anyway, I had a very good time playing Wrong Number and I feel glad to have supported the game on Kickstarter and waited for it. Wishing you the best for your next projects!
Thank you so much for playing Val!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Ash was actually created by one of our Patreon members, and she did a great job with designing him.
Wrong Number does tie in with my other games, so a sequel or spin-off is very likely. Hehe.
Thank you again for backing us, we couldn't have done it without your support.
Great game! Will there be a walkthrough available or at least some hints on how to get all the endings?
Thank you =]
I am including it in the artbook but will also make an independent walkthrough guide if people need it.
Will this be released on Steam?
Unfortunately no
Turns out I'm a liar... lol
The game was just released on Steam earlier this month (with an updated build)
lol
Yeah I'm slowly getting the hang around using the steam dashboard. It still infuriates me though so everything takes a while for me to wrap my head around.
Hope you're well!
im such a fan of this game already keep up the amazing work!
Thank you wmr!
cheeky bastard
Luka is. think I knew a few people like him when I was in college
I think we all know someone like Luka. Haha.
Truth!
Extended demo = more content = more fun! Also, doesn't "more is more" sound like something Luka would say? It almost startled me how straight forward he is, but it makes for a real fun vibe. I wish there was more voice acting (though I know it's a lot to even have this much in an indie game) as I really enjoyed the parts we do have. Looking forward to the full game even more now!
Thank you for playing the extended demo Kei!! It was fun watching the let's play!
exited for the full game !
Intriguing premise and demo so far! Good luck with the development!
Thank you!
loving this game! hows development going?
Thank you wmr33!!
Development is going well! Slower than originally planned but we are nearing the end. :)
yay! so happy about this! will be looking forward to supporting this project in the future
I'm looking very forward to the update!
Great game! Looking forward to the full version
Thank you!
It looks like a very interesting game. Looking forward to your update!(^_−)☆
Thank you !
I just want to thank you for listing Filipino and Pacific Islander as two separate things. I'm part Filipino (Tsinoy), and I've met so many other Filipino people (including my own parents) who think we're Pacific Islanders rather than Asian. But Pacific Islanders are their own minority group, and their community faces different issues that many Filipinos aren't aware of when they use the label.
Hi Micah!
You are welcome, I guess? Lol.
I grew up in a very diverse neighbourhood, and wanted to show in my games that same diversity.
I hope I do a good job representing them.

Welp, I just randomly found this scrolling through games and I already love it! The comedy in this game was just hilarious, can't wait to play the finished product.
Thanks Jamxe!!
Glad you hear you're loving it so far :)
I can translate your game into Spanish, if you wish.
it's looking good so far! also i was really pleasantly surprised when they mentioned 'melbourne central'. haven't found many aussie made games like this before.
Thank you! And mate, hahahha, most of my games are set in Australia XD
I like this so far! The music is chill and mellow, the art is so pretty (including the bedroom background :0), and I like how within the brief few minutes of gameplay we get, we still get a feel for the characters. I'm excited to see progress on this game, because so far it's looking really good :D
Thanks so much for the kind words, Kora!
