Loneliness

An experimental, minimalistic art game that explores a single emotion and takes only a few minutes to play through. Loneliness is a simple top-down exploration game where the only available input is movement. Explore a flat landscape populated by other squares that engage in various social behaviors represented metaphorically through patterns of their own simple movement.

Loneliness was originally released as a Flash game in 2010 that was featured prominently by Extra Credits and nominated for a variety of awards including the Extra Credits Innovation Awards.

This is a 10th anniversary release that is true to the original game, except that the end screen has been notably changed, as described here.
