Today's Webtip: This is Not a Minimalist Game

the game might not be minimalist, but the graphics certainly are.

Ok all you desktop-bound casual gamers, listen up. Time to put your thinking caps on, your capskey off, and your expectations on hold.

Because I have a game here that might be worth some time.

Put together as part of a 48 hour development competition, This is Not a Minimalist Game is an "epic mini fantasy" role playing puzzle game. That basically means that you play a warrior type who wanders around talking to people (or things) and following quests. Or rather, trying to figure shit out. You know, puzzles.

I haven't gotten very far in the game yet, but I do find it rather charming. That's not saying much so I will quote another review from some anonymous commenter:
"games by hippies are usually crap, but this one wasn't bad"

So at least one jerk on the internet thinks it's worth playing. But don't trust him, see for yourself.
