Our take on Simple Game
Rather than keeping its simple apple-collection premise intact, the game turns that opening task into a gateway for puzzles, hidden mysteries, and rule-breaking across multiple game worlds. Its structure subverts the expectation that a small objective represents the whole experience.
What is Simple Game?
Simple Game begins with helping Chibisi collect five apples to make a pie.
The initial objective presents itself as a short, accessible task, but hidden puzzles and mysteries gradually expand the challenge. Players take the role of an experienced gamer moving between different game worlds, using discoveries from one stage to progress through another. The developer places obstacles and dead ends in the player’s path, requiring quick reactions, planning, and unconventional actions. The game includes bright, colorful visuals at first, followed by a more tense and gloomy atmosphere in later sections. The overall goal is to uncover the secrets concealed across the games and reach the final mystery.
