Setting
Sisyphus, king of Corinth, has tricked the Gods and Death. To punish him, the Gods condemned him to push a boulder uphill forever, only for it to roll back each time.
But Sisyphus didn't give up. He decided to livestream it.
It's a meta-narrative game about spectacle and finding meaning in repetition. Roll your boulder, pull off stunts, and try to make the eternal grind worth living.
Progressing from Greek myth to the modern day, the story asks two simple questions:
Aren’t you a Sisyphus too?
Can you Imagine Sisyphus Happy?
Some people ask - can you win this game? You decide.
