There Is No Game

There Is No Game is the brilliantly funny and subversive meta-puzzle game created by Pascal Cammisotto (KaMiZoTo) that won the 2015 Deconstructeam Jam. From the moment you load the screen, an annoyed narrator firmly insists that there is no game to play and politely asks you to close the tab and go read a book.

Naturally, disobeying the narrator is where the adventure truly begins! Poke the title letters, pull down signs, break the sound mute button, uncover hidden keys, and dismantle the game's very user interface piece by piece.

Packed with witty humor, clever fourth-wall breaks, and inventive puzzle mechanics that turn software UI elements into physical tools, There Is No Game is a celebrated masterclass in interactive comedy and creative game design.

How to play There Is No Game

1. Use your mouse to click on UI elements, title letters, volume icons, and background signs.
2. Disobey the narrator's instructions and find unconventional ways to interact with the screen.
3. Drag and drop loose interface letters and tools to smash locks, solve riddles, and reveal hidden compartments.
4. Follow the unfolding meta-storyline through classic arcade parodies, brick-breaker stages, and escape puzzles.

Tips for winning and high scores

• Click everything: if the narrator tells you not to touch a specific button or letter, that is your primary target!
• Letters in the title screen have weight and physics—drop them repeatedly on other objects to break them open.
• Listen closely to the narrator's dialogue; his sarcastic complaints often contain subtle hints about what to do next.
• Think outside the box: conventional gaming logic does not apply when you are literally dismantling the program.
