There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension
Official Description (Ad Blurb)
"There is no game: Wrong dimension" is a Point&Click comedy adventure (and Point&Click only!) that will take you on a journey you never asked to go on, through silly and unexpected video game universes.
Will you be able to play along with the "Game" to find your way home?
We sincerely think NOT.
* A Point&Click comedy adventure. You can go ahead and put your controller back up on the shelf.
* Incredible 3D graphics that are flat. Completely flat. And very pixelated.
* Almost fully voiced. (May contain traces of foreign accents here and there.)
* Solve riddles that require you to think "Outside the box".
* Hint system included because you can't think "Outside the box"...
* Shorter than an MMORPG, which leaves you plenty of time to finish some REAL good games.
* Discover the Top 10 best walls. The fourth one will surprise you!
* Motion sickness free, which is pretty remarkable for a non-VR experience.
* Contains tons of bugs... but it’s supposed to be like that.
* And lots of other surprises!
You haven't heard of “There is no game”, winner of the 2015 Construct Jam?
That's perfect! Go play Battle of Duty instead of clicking on the image below to try this weird, totally pointless video game.

The Good
The only thing you need to know about There Is No Game: it is meta. Very, very meta. It is not like Evoland II which is a regular game with many references, but
closer to The Beginner's Guide or The Hex. And it may be the best game of this kind I have ever played after Pony Island. I can't talk at all about the story without spoilers so I'll have to keep this recommendation vague. The only thing I can say is that the humor is splendid and I laughed out loud often.
While the story is clearly king, this does not mean the gameplay has been neglected. On the contrary, the puzzles are the most inventive I have seen in a long time. Again, I can't reveal anything without spoilers, but the integration of story and gameplay is fantastic. This game is full of puzzles I have never seen before and they manage to be logical and non-trivial at the same time. If you ever get stuck there is an excellent hint system which gives first vague and then more explicit hints. The controls are obviously designed for touch devices, but still work well with mouse.
The Bad
Most sections were significantly too long and a later part of the plot, let's call it a love story, was a bit silly and did not really work for me. This costs half a star in my rating, but overall it did not hamper my enjoyment much.
The Bottom Line
Everyone who likes meta video game stories should play this game. Now. You should not spoil yourself with gameplay videos or reviews - I played There Is No Game with no additional information than the promo pictures on Steam and I am glad I did.
