About is THIS a game?

✦ AI summary

Experience a wildly experimental collection of over 50 mini-games, pop culture references, and interactive oddities that playfully question what a video game even is. Created by a veteran artist from Deponia and Leisure Suit Larry, it's a cheeky, pixel-packed journey packed with achievements, 8-bit sound design, and more axolotls than you'd expect.

From one of the artists behind "Deponia", "Leisure Suit Larry" and a bunch of game you never heard of, comes a new experience:



Is THIS a game?
Well, it has everything you'd expect from a video game:
  • loads of buttons
  • pixels (more than 1000!!!)
  • even animation!
  • achievements (those are important, right?)
  • a mouse-cursor to point and even click sometimes!
  • state of the art 8 bit sound-design!
  • An axolotl
  • More than 50 mini-”games”
  • pop culture references to ALL your (aka my) favorite game franchises
But… is this enough? What even is a game? Does this count? How much interactivity do you need? Are games art? What am I and if yes… how many? Are there maybe TOO many axolotls in this game?

Come in and find out for only 4 bucks! Only for a limited time (<= lie)! Support a more or less struggling gameartist, working in the industry for 10+ years (and still not good enough for the artstation front page). Aaaanyway, thank you for your time and have fun “playing” this “game”...

Jo out.

Is THIS a game? Kind off. its more a collection of minigames, and even those are barely games. You really "play" this for the humor, which I actually enjoyed. What annoyed me is that the minigames shuffle at random, so you might have to replay the same ones a lot before seeing them all. It is however also super short, so managable

İt feels more like a free flash game than a steam game to be honest, something like the impossible quiz but its even unfunnier. İ could not finish it because it really was not fun. İ expected something smarter like “the corridor” or “the stanley parable” but its really not worth it. 4/10

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
