Description
A Game About is a short, lo-fi (!), slice-of-life (!!), experimental (!!!) piece that recreates the crushing weight of living through the simplest routine. It's also a comedy point & click game.
History
A Game About is the first game I ever released. It was inspired by health issues and chronic pain resulting from them. Developping the game was a way for me to exorcise the sadness and anxiety those problems caused in my life. While this pain is very much present in the game, I did not want the act of playing it to be a bummer.

- "There's an authenticity here, a rawness to its branching tale of daily efforts, and of faltering small steps forward, that neatly communicates a feeling of hopelessness, and sheer exhaustion."
