Wasting Time: A Dark Comedy Roguelite
A solo dev's 6-month project tackles the absurdity of phone scrolling
A dark comedy roguelite about mindlessly scrolling through your phone has emerged from a 6-month development cycle. The game, which has a free demo available on Steam, takes a humorous approach to critiquing the mindless scrolling that many people can relate to.
The developer, who shared their creation on Reddit, describes the game's premise with a hint of self-deprecation, acknowledging the 'abysmal' returns on their time investment. Despite this, the game has garnered interest, with 55 upvotes and 14 comments on the post.
Players can try out the demo for themselves by following the link in the comments of the Reddit post. The game's unique blend of dark comedy and roguelite elements may appeal to fans of offbeat indie games.
The game's development is a testament to the creativity and perseverance of solo devs, who often pour their hearts and souls into projects that may not yield immediate financial gains. As the gaming community continues to support and engage with such projects, it will be interesting to see how this game and others like it evolve and grow.
