Short description
Wander through an ever-changing level in This Game is Simple- a quiet, meditative story about a game developer losing passion towards their work.
About this game
"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).
