About This Game is Simple

"Hi, and welcome to This Game is Simple"This Game is Simple is a narrative-driven walking simulator that tells a story about the creative process. As the player, you are guided through a work-in-progress game by its developer, watching in real time as it gains new features and becomes more impressive. However, as the game becomes increasingly complex, our narrator begins to show signs of frustration. Before long, it becomes clear what the issue is. They are no longer passionate about their game. Experience a short, bite sized narrative that can be completed in one sitting for free in this indie game inspired by The Beginners Guide, Self-Checkout Unlimited and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Furthermore, relax and take some screenshots in the exploration mode- an additional mode that allows players to freely explore environments seen throughout the story. Finally, keep a keen eye throughout the main story, as you may just find a few secrets relating to your favourite games...Features:
  • A linear and complete story that can be experienced in one sitting. 
  • Stunning visuals that develop throughout the game.
  • An original soundtrack by Alex Shesha and Fernando A. 
  • An exploration mode to allow free-roam of the environments in the game. 
  • Male and female voice performances- choose your narrator. 
  • Easter eggs from beloved games. 
NOTE: This game is intended to be played in one sitting. It does not have a save feature (sorry).

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!
