I'd rather play as Sisyphus and be condemned to eternally push a boulder up a hill than play as Syphilis.1 found this helpful

Sisyphus Reborn is a really good game 😄 You can either keep digging and making progress or just do nothing, but somehow the game still pushes you toward a meaningful goal 👏 The gameplay is simple but surprisingly addictive, and every bit of progress feels rewarding. It can be challenging and sometimes frustrating 😭 but that’s what makes finally moving forward feel so satisfying 💀1 found this helpful
When I was younger I would have seen this game as profound. Now I see it as a game trying to seem profound. YMMV. Still, it's free and short so WTH give it a try.
The good: A short game with a good story. The bad: gameplay absolutely terrible, half the time clicking the mouse does nothing, you cant adjust any settings, and you can't move using keyboard. For a free half hour game it's worth it, but I do wish they would fix the controls to actually work.
