Classic Zork meets Existential Crisis. A modern text adventure that explores themes of control, isolation and mental health while levelling up the genre with beautiful pixel art.
Relax, get comfy, have an existential crisis.

I Doesn’t Exist takes the fun of classic text-based adventure games, and adds a new dimension with beautiful, handcrafted pixel art. Though the game can be enjoyed in one sitting, repeat playthroughs are encouraged…

Freed from the constraints that limited text adventures of the past, I Doesn’t Exist uses a natural language processor (NLP) to offer more meaningful interactions with the game. The NLP technology allows the game to interpret a wide range of emotion and intent from player input, freeing the experience from predetermined commands.

A moment of consciousness, a cold stone floor beneath your hands. A gentle gust of wind brushes past. Are you back again? Or have you never left? A beating heart, not your own, safely tucked away. Protected from intruders, it holds the key to salvation. Your freedom lies beyond that door. Everything you could ever want.
