Life is Pointless

Life Is Pointless explains everything there is to know about it in its title, and I am struck repeatedly as I go about my day with how poignantly I feel about it. It is a simple premise: Leave the game running and it will assign points to every key press you make on your keyboard. The points don't do anything, there is no progression. But somehow, I care about it. It is a beautiful and cyclical irony that keeps me from closing the program, and a self-fulfilling prophecy. The game is a brilliant thesis of a desk job. It is both true in its discussion of the modern employee as a machine, and so patently false about what that means that I can't help but think about it. A lot. Yes, it's true that many people sit and type and sit and type and miss days and weeks and years of their lives. Yes, that person might be me. But what does that mean? This game is forcing me to ask myself what value my job has for me. Its name presses against me as I sit and type and sit and type. Life Is Pointless....

So simple but so intelligent, I recommend it.

If Life is Pointless. Why Is there Points?

Most amazingly pointless game on steam. 10/10 Time waste. Would spend the cash again.

Such an amazing game! And where can I buy the soundtrack?

Gameless shovelware masquerading as meta commentary on clicker games. I enjoy a lot of simple games, a lot of incremental games, and a lot of anti-games, and this is not one of them. ---- I originally left the review at that, but after seeing the dev's sarcastic comments on every bit of criticism in his review section, I'll break down exactly why you shouldn't buy this product. It's lazy. It's a lazy attempt at stealing money from people with a fake incremental and nothing more. It tries to lean on the simplicity as if that's what the dev was going for, but it comes off much more like the dev doesn't care about the product they're making. They try to tout the boringness of the "game" as if it were a feature and not a lack of features. They put no effort into this "game", and I use that word very loosely, because there is no gameplay to speak of. To make an incremental interesting, it needs progression, even if it's simple. There needs to be a destination to make it worth it...

This game is very moving in the sense that when you sit there and realize what it is you are doing, sitting at your computer and just smashing your keyboard to get points in a video game that absolutely doesn't matter and is completely pointless, you have achieved the state of mind that the developer wanted you to be in. Your life has no point at this moment other than to just press the keys on your keyboard for the soul purpose of what? Achievements that have absolutely no meaning to anything other than yourself, but even its meaning loses value when you think about its value. You have entered a state of mind that you can begin to get a glimpse of what it is like to live with a mental illness that sucks the life out of anything. This whole thing was a 'joke' based off the developer's own dealings with depression, but I believe that this joke was actually a well thought out message on what it feels like to wrestle with your own demons from the color, the expansive sound design, and ga...

Corona Virus has no chance against this.

Best game ever! Already my 3rd most played game 10/10 would buy again

This game is exactly what the trailer shows. You press keys and you get points. It also allows you to leave it run in the background and gain points from all the key presses you do in your day, although it seems to be a little too intensive on the GPU. It's essentialy an idle game without all of the mind manipulation and effort required of you. It's kinda funny, but there are definitaly many people don't like paying money for this kinda of stuff. Unless you don't mind paying 99 cents for a chuckle or want to make your google searches feel meaningful I wouldn't recommend this.
