About

Why? is a minimalist first-person experience blending meditative repetition with visceral physicality. Punch your way through a brick-solid environment to uncover the truth behind its existence - or accept that some questions have no answers.

With 87.3% of play testers reporting either unexpected tranquillity or profound existential dread (Steam survey data pending), Why? offers a uniquely polarized experience.

KEY FEATURES

Advanced Fist-to-Wall Physics: Our proprietary collision system ensures every punch feels impactful (disclaimer: knuckles safety not guaranteed)

Dynamic Narrative Delivery: A disembodied voice provides critical motivational feedback at randomized intervals

Procedural Existentialism: Walls fracture in mathematically unsettling patterns fuelled by the OCD system (Ordered Chaos Destruction system is patent pending)

Accessible Mastery Curve: Casual players enjoy 2.7 hours of median engagement; completionists report 14-hour ascension cycles

Artisanal Achievements: 7 hand-illustrated Achievement badges to validate your life choices

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Cinematic fist realism with industry-leading animations (velocity, angle, and regret variables)

  • Studio-quality existential commentary recorded at 24-bit/96kHz in a professional sound booth (then heavily processed to sound appropriately disembodied)

  • Lumen-powered impending doom with ray-traced self-doubt

  • Original soundtrack full of meditative lo-fi droning (seriously)

WHY PLAY "WHY?"

  • Therapeutic Value: 62% of users reported decreased productivity anxiety*

  • Philosophical Merit: Named "Most Rhetorical Game of 2023" (self-proclaimed)

  • Benchmark Utility: Ideal for testing mouse durability (avg. 8,721 clicks/completion)

Test survey data from 1.5 respondents

Join the debate – Is it a commentary on creative futility? A parody of early-access culture? Or just a fist-shaped stress reliever? Share your theories in the Community Hub or our Order + Chaos Discord.
