Get on Steam"Absolutely Nothing" is a minimalist 'game' that challenges players to do nothing and win nothing. With a blank screen and no gameplay, it tests your understanding of what a game can be. It features none of the typical elements of a AAA title, and is not recommended for those with cognitive impairments. The game's goal is to provoke thought and confusion, leaving players to make of it what they will.
