About the Game

SISYPHE is an adventure game about a square that yearns to be a circle. Chip off pieces of the square at certain points along the journey, and climb a mountain in search of renewal. You'll walk and climb through seven visually distinct areas on your way up the mountain path. 

DISCLAIMER: The players physics have been heavily changed. The player is much faster and jumps higher than shows here. If you're on the fence because of how slow it looks, don't worry.

SISYPHE is mainly an interactive art piece. It's a beautiful, casual climbing game that prioritizes atmosphere and the journey. SISYPHE keeps a unique visual style that embodies the feel and soul of the square's voyage. Listen to a beautiful soundtrack by Pierre Scheuer (PeterBarn) and creator Lucas Ljunggren along the way.

Explore a gorgeous world of climbing possibilites. No invisible walls, no restrictions, climb anywhere you can. Find large artifacts and statues along the way, a good place to take the atmosphere in and stare at the incredible landscapes.

Explore SISYPHE, the beautiful, casual climbing game about the square.
