About This Game

An experimental, minimalistic art game that explores a single emotion and takes only a few minutes to play through. Loneliness is a simple top-down exploration game where the only available input is movement. Explore a flat landscape populated by other squares that engage in various social behaviors represented metaphorically through patterns of their own simple movement. Loneliness was originally released as a Flash game in 2010. It was featured prominently by Extra Credits (Season 4, Episode 3: Mechanics as Metaphor) and others, and received a variety of accolades, including being nominated for the Extra Credits Innovation Awards. Other people said the game was the worst thing they'd ever played--but at least it wasn't on Steam. This is a 10th anniversary release that is true to the original game, except that the end screen has been notably removed, as described at the game's home page. The original version of the game is available on Steam as part of The Gametrekking Omnibus. Credits: Game by Jordan Magnuson Music by Kevin MacLeod
