There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension is an adventure game about playing games. It’s a fourth wall-breaking experience that jumps between genres, switches up mechanics, and subverts your expectations as you try to launch a game that desperately doesn’t want you to play it.

Why you should play it

Few games feel like a true sense of self-expression or that you’re enjoying its design alongside the people who made it. There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension does exactly this at all times, for better and for worse, even when you’re doing things like exploiting the systems of a satirical free-to-play game or carving out names from a credit sequence to solve puzzles.

Why you might not play it

It may feel a little corny at times, and its puzzles don’t always work, but the way that this game puts itself out there is really brave, honest, and endearing. If you’re unsure about it’s ability to charm you, there’s a free variant you can try for yourself first.
