There Is No Game

There Is No Game is a Point & Click experience that breaks all conventions: it pretends not to be a game, constantly teasing the player with dialogue, fake menus, intentional bugs, and spectacular interactions. You won’t just click to solve puzzles; you’ll be talked to, seduced, tricked, and then suddenly transformed into a virtual savior. This is a game that loves to break the thing called games.

Gameplay: There Is No Game

• Genre: Non-linear Point & Click, metaphorical interaction, creative puzzle
• Core: Interact with the interface, drag and drop items, press buttons, match objects, fix bugs and follow instructions or disobey commands.
• Every seemingly meaningless action opens up a new path: break letters, drag game titles, open virtual folders, use objects to progress chapters, play hidden minigames like rock-paper-scissors, protect bubbles, unlock locks or manipulate computers in-game.

Game Features

• The No Game menu and constant prompts telling you to quit, don't click, and don't break, but you do click.
• Interact with letters and titles: drag, drop, and break game titles and every time you do, the character reacts angrily but hilariously.
• Unexpected minigames: from playing rock-paper-scissors to protecting bubbles, unlocking locks, inserting keys into locks, searching through filing cabinets containing clues
• Bugs and meta-puzzles: simulated game crashes, lack of RAM, infinite loading, empty folder, password taken from ID, forcing you to repair the virtual machine to progress
• Voiceover changes and different language characters argue, adding surprise and humor.

The feeling when playing There Is No Game

There Is No Game makes players constantly change states: curious, frustrated, excited and then laughing. Players do not need quick reflexes but need patience, try everything, think nonlinearly and accept being fooled. This is a game of exploration and curiosity, rewarding those who dare to touch every corner of the screen.

Challenge System

• The puzzles are not always obvious; sometimes the hints are in the dialogue itself.
• Some challenges are solved by breaking the interface: dragging letters, throwing objects, intentionally damaging something.
• Logic puzzles like finding passwords from IDs, assembling gears, shrinking objects to fit in the inventory
• Small minigames are sometimes the key to unlocking the next stage.

There Are No Game Tips

• Don't be afraid to click and try things; the game encourages curiosity.
• Remember the number, ID or order of appearance because the password is often taken from small details.
• If the game freezes or takes forever to load, it might be a sign; try dragging or opening another folder.
• Read the dialogue carefully; characters often reveal clues in a sarcastic way.

There Is No Game is a gift for those who love creativity, curiosity and meta humor. It does not follow the traditional gameplay with a mission and then an end, but an interactive dialogue between you and the screen. Sometimes friendly, sometimes sarcastic, but always surprising. If you want a different point-and-click experience, solving puzzles and making you laugh, this is a worthy choice. If you want a more horror experience, play Yandere Simulator.
