This Game is Simple

This Game is Simple is a compact first-person narrative experience built around exploration, atmosphere, and a personal examination of creative burnout. Instead of filling its runtime with combat, complicated puzzles, inventories, or progression systems, it deliberately keeps interaction uncomplicated and places most of the attention on the emotional journey. Developed and published by TalkingMicrowaveGames, it follows a female game developer whose enthusiasm for creating games has begun to disappear. What initially seems like a straightforward walking simulator gradually reveals itself as a reflection on creativity, exhaustion, motivation, and the uncomfortable feeling of losing interest in something that was once important. The gameplay largely revolves around moving through realistic 3D environments and observing how the surroundings evolve as the story progresses. There is no need to memorize complicated controls or master elaborate mechanics, making the experience immediately approachable. The changing environment is one of its more interesting ideas because the world is not merely a backdrop. Alterations in scenery help represent the protagonist's changing emotional conditio…

this game is simple and i love it

Not a great "game" to experience, but the narrator is a rich character who has a lot to say about the creative process. I went through it with both narrators, I slightly preferred the female one. In today's market where dozens of games get released everyday, trying to make something "unique" is virtually impossible. A lot depends on what your goal is with your game-if it's just to make something that you think is cool and want to show other people, that's a lot easier than trying to make something that you can sell. Even if you are trying to make a product you can sell, an important part of being an indie developer is knowing what you CAN reasonably make and not giving in to feature creep to try and compete with studios with hundreds of employees. If you have a perfectionist personality, making a game that you can be happy with can also be an incredible challenge.

I'm glad that I've found this game and that I've experienced it, it is wonderful in showing how ideas, motivation, the ups and downs of creating something (especially art: games, music, literature, etc) works. It shows the kinds of things every artist and developer struggles with: having inspiration, motivation, getting lost in the process and trying to find a way back...It is the exact thoughts and feelings that I'm personally fighting with almost every day, so thank you and congratulations on having the braveness to create a slow game, a game about making a game in a world that is always in a hurry, that is always seeking action, adventure, adrenaline. Respect!
