About the Game

"SENSE: The Game" is a unique philosophical game inspired by the myth of Sisyphus, where you are tasked not just with pushing a boulder, but also with seeking answers to life's most profound questions. This game explores the concept of the meaning of life through the lens of absurdity, repetitive actions, and endless cycles.

You control a character who pushes a stone through abstract, symbolic landscapes. The gameplay is based on alternating key presses, evoking a sense of weight, repetition, and gradual progress. Each press is a step forward — much like in life. The journey is not endless: hidden behind the monotony lies a purpose that slowly comes into focus.

Throughout the game, you won’t face enemies — instead, you’ll confront inner questions. The texts and final scene reveal a philosophical message inspired by the works of Camus. This is not a game about victory. It is a game about understanding.
