This game isn’t fun, and that’s okay. Not every game needs to make you feel powerful. This game is meant to make you feel the frustration and despair that the character “Sisyphus” would feel. It does that pretty well, at the beginning at least. You don’t know what to do, do you follow the tutorial. You quickly learn how to beat the game system after ten minutes filled with despair. You learn that any failure is your fault alone, which I feel takes away from the intended feeling of the game. My opinion is that personal failures are less frustrating than those by pure chance, and much less than those by the choices of others. I think that it would be much more frustrating if there was RNG in the game, a VERY small chance of randomly failing through no fault of your own.

The best part about this app is how absolutely not fun it is. In a modern world where many struggle with phone addiction, the unstoppable urge to open social media right before bedtime, or to indulge in a few swipes to fill any moment of free time really, it almost feels good to force yourself to open up this app instead. Call it a variety of sadism, but this app gives me the option to punish myself for my desire to indulge, and tasting the eternal torment of Sisyphos teaches me every day that there is another reality where the release of serotonin in the brain is not a cheap commodity, but rather something earned only through blood sweat and tears, as it should be. This is not a game, but rather it is the exact of opposite of every other app available on the market. There are even apps that market themselves as alternatives to social media, but require a subscription to interact with them for more than ten minutes a day. Sisyphos does not pretend to provide you with anything except a free, stoic alternative to stimulation on demand, and for that it has my respect.

So I’ll be right before the white mountain top and then 💥💥boom!💥💥 it rolls right back down the moment I hit white no matter what I do to get to the top! Other than this small frustrating quirk the game is absolutely perfect In all ways. And honestly the fact that I fall at white tip of the mountain might be my fault but I don’t think so. And don’t take this review the wrong way because I’m just trying to get my bug fixed. If you want the “game” totally get it! It’s awesome I just am I having a problem in mine! Any way awesome game minus the quirk of mine! THANKS SO MUCH TO WHOEVER MADE THIS “GAME!!”!!

Note: The title is a combination of the word Amazing and Fantastic.Yeah, this game gives you exactly what it says in the description. I know right? Most games don’t do that. Anyways, I would recommend this game if you’re in a car ride or if you have no internet but I just downloaded this game because I have seen countless amounts of Sisyphus memes this year and because I thought it would probably be fun to see a man forced for all eternity to roll a boulder up a hill only for it to fall down and see all his efforts broken for the 100th time. But in the myths Sisyphus has no obligation to roll the boulder up the hill, he just does so because he actually thinks he can do it. Anyways, download this game.
