About A Game About

✦ AI summary

Navigate mundane daily routines through lo-fi point-and-click interactions that find unexpected comedy and poignancy in life's simplest moments. This experimental ten-minute slice-of-life unfolds with hand-drawn charm and branching choices that build toward an emotional gut-punch designed to hit right on schedule.

A Game About is a short, lo-fi (!), slice-of-life (!!), experimental (!!!) piece that recreates the crushing weight of living through the simplest routine. It's also a comedy point & click game.

Playtime should be around ten minutes. Tears - that may or may not be happy tears - should happen around the eight minutes and a half mark. I guarantee* at least two (2) good chuckles from playing the game.

Features:
  • Free
  • No IAPs
  • Absolutely free
  • Beautiful hand-drawn graphics
  • Branching Path Story
  • Achievements!

*Not an actual guarantee.

The lines constantly moving gets really annoying especially when trying to read, but overall a nice art piece I like the ending

F'in great. Could not exist in any other format. Tells a story and doesn't overstay its welcome.

I found this game really charming and enjoyable to both look at and play, even with it's simplicity and short length. As someone who has in the past often just looked at everything in the world with cynicism, I really found myself connecting to this little game and I am really looking forward to Please Hold Me if it'll be a short and sweet experience like this one was. <3

Simple graphics, but a unique idea. The game is a bit confusing with all the branching choices, but it's still very interesting.

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.
