Bizarre platforming game
The Game of Sisyphus is a premium adventure game for PC coming from an indie developer who goes by the name cream. It is a 3D platformer that revolves around a character who is being punished with the task of pushing a large boulder up a mountain while dealing with various obstacles and pitfalls along the way.
Uphill battle of wills
The game draws inspiration from Greek history and centers around the titular Sisyphus, a tyrannic and violent ruler punished with pushing a boulder up a mountain for eternity. Push up boulders of varying shapes while keeping their inertia in check. Any slight changes in movement can put them off-path, and you need to adjust accordingly.
To make things worse, there are multiple obstacles and traps along the path, including spikes, bombs, and wild animals that will constantly distract you. Avoiding them has consequences, so you need to carefully consider how you move. Now, given the literal slow and crawling nature of the gameplay, some players will find the experience a bit dull and boring after a while.
A bit of a chore
To sum up, The Game of Sysiphus is an interesting platformer that transforms a classic Greek story into a video game experience. It offers bizarre gameplay, to say the least, and it will be a bit slow for some. However, if you're a fan of the genre, it's still worth checking out. Check it out and see for yourself.
