THERE IS NO GAME

Description

5.0 (4549 Reviews)

It’s a 10–15 minute HTML5 browser game that tricks you into thinking… there’s no game. But there is one—hidden behind interactive text and meta humor.
Created by Pascal “KaMiZoTo” Cammisotto, it won the ‘Deception’ category in the 2015 Newgrounds Construct Jam. The idea? Deceive the player into believing nothing’s happening, then surprise them with friction-breaking puzzles and narration.
Rated highly on CrazyGames (9.2/10 with nearly 100k votes)—it’s a favorite among point-and-click and puzzle fans.

Simply click—interact with the text, manipulate UI elements, even drag the narrator icon.
Every click reveals more “non-game” layers, turning it into a mini puzzle adventure, including surprising mini-games like cracking a nut for a squirrel key.

Meta humour & storytelling: Constantly breaks the fourth wall, playing with expectations.
Elegant brevity: A full, satisfying experience without overstaying its welcome.
Dev roots: Built solo by Cammisotto, later evolving into a polished, full-length game.

A full-fledged sequel with ~5 hours of content, voice-acting, and expanded puzzle mechanics.
Developed by Draw Me A Pixel and released August 6, 2020 on PC/mac, later on mobile and Switch. It’s received overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam.
Plot: you battle a narrator intent on convincing you “there is no game,” only to be sucked through crazy dimensions—even unleashing “Mr Glitch”.
Critics compare it to clever fourth-wall-breakers like The Stanley Parable.
