About the Game

Welcome to Borefest. The most boring game ever made.

Do you hate having fun? Enjoy torturing yourself with lackluster puzzles, dialogue that tries WAY too hard to be funny, and/or graphics "drawn" by someone who can't draw? Well, you've come to the right place...

Borefest is the most boring game in the world, and in it, you'll be waiting in line at the post office, answering questions during a workplace safety meeting, serving customers during a VERY slow shift - basically, all the most tedious things in life are in this game...

Only those with brave enough souls and the most tenacious spirits can endure:

  • - 6 "mini"games that each span upwards of 30 minutes
  • - An unlockable 'hard mode' that makes those "mini"games EVEN worse
  • - A soundtrack comprised of royalty-free 'Kevin Macleod' music
  • - Extremely long loading screens
  • - Dull gameplay mechanics that include: waiting around and pressing one button, QTE's, quizzes.
  • - Unskippable dialogue

Don't buy this game if you enjoy having fun - if you want to experience the most boring things life has to offer and try to conquer them in an extremely anti-climactic fashion, this "game" is for you!

You'll have the life sucked out of you as you visit: the post office, a fast food restaurant, the A&E waiting room...

You'll meet moderately humorous characters such as: a creepy clown, your boring boss, an obsessive stamp collector...















...Honestly, just go play something else.
