4	''[[https://candal.itch.io/sevensimplewonders Seven Simple Wonders]]'' is a [[FreewareGames freeware]] bitsy game for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]], developed by Candal for the August 2018 Bitsy Game Jam. It's a really short, 5-minute "interactive poem" RPG where you have to find seven things and ponder their worth.

6	Due to the extremely short length of the game, it is highly advised playing it first before resuming reading this page.

8	!!Seven Simple Wonders contains examples of:
9	* AFriendInNeed: the Bat's analysis concludes that it can always count on its big family/pack for help in times of need.
10	* AlienAbduction: Averted. The main character simply analyzes the {{MacGuffin}}s instead of taking them.
11	* AmbiguousRobots: The player character and their helpers.
12	* BenevolentAlienInvasion: You play as the invader.
13	* BioluminescenceIsCool: Powered by the love of a firefly.
14	* ColorContrast: Every room has a contrasting color scheme between its Object and the scenary. For example: Red Apple in green orchard, yellow Firefly in purple cave.
15	* CommonplaceRare: The things the alien character find wondrous are common things often overlooked by humans, like an apple. In a more direct example, the last item you analyze is a flower, of which there were many at the very first screen of the game.
16	* EarnYourHappyEnding: The Goldfish is now thriving in the wild after being abandoned in the sewers.
17	* HumansThroughAlienEyes: More like Earth through Alien Eyes. Your character is an alien invader captivated by the beauty of Earth's mundane things.
18	* MacGuffin: Through the story you find an Apple, a Goldfish, a Firefly, a Palm Tree, a Hummingbird, a Bat and a Flower.
19	* SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism: The player character and their helpers rank very low, but their 1-bit representations leave much to the imagination. They could be robotic, tentacled, insectoid...
20	* MatryoshkaObject: The Apple's analysis. How many more apples can you grow from its seeds?
21	* MissingSecret: In the Palm Tree area, there is an unreachable cave entrance right behind the tree, leftover of early development.
22	* MundaneMadeAwesome: The premise of the game. The mundane items' analyses make them more wonderful, simply by pondering their worth.
23	* NoFocusOnHumans: Humans are implied to live near (or have once lived in) the starting area of the game, where you can find a basket under an apple tree and an abandoned fish that escaped the sewers.
24	* RainbowMotif: You find seven items, colored in the order of the rainbow. You start with a Red Apple and end with a Violet Flower.
25	* [[{{SlidingScaleOfLinearityVsOpenness}} Sliding Scale Of Linearity Vs. Openness]]: Completely linear. You're not locked from going back to previous areas, however.
