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:
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”...

- even animation!
- achievements (those are important, right?)
- a mouse-cursor to point and even click sometimes!

[b]is THIS a game?[/b] is a series of largely unrelated interactions that come together to form a game, maybe. Created by illustrator Johannes Lott, it poses the question of what constitutes a game. The loosely defined and highly casual gameplay consists of navigating through a number of “mini games” that can more accurately be described as interactions. For the most part, they consist of simply clicking, and the more taxing tasks require the player to press a few keyboard keys; some screens just have humorous tool tips. The biggest drawback of the gameplay is that the various “mini-games” seem to shuffle, meaning that repetition is frequent even when there is content that the player has not yet seen. Given that the strongest feature of the content is its comedy value, and the general lack of substance and sense of achievement, the repetition offers no replay value and gets dull very quickly. It may offer 30-40 minutes of playtime for those who want to see everything, but playtime is probably a more accurate term than gameplay as it feel a bit more like a toy than a game. Unfortunately, the toy feels insubstantial, lacking anything that would allow a player to feel invested. It …10 found this helpful
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 managable2 found this helpful

A fun goofy lil game, well worth $4!1 found this helpful
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
