Games that defy the traditional approach to game design and offer unique, interesting and often strange experiences.
Stripping back the unnecessary and focusing on the essential. Minimalist games often rely on simple graphics, basic colors, and straightforward mechanics to convey their core gameplay experience. They often prioritize gameplay and user interaction over complex narratives or detailed graphics, providing a refined and uncluttered experience. They may feature limited interfaces, reduced controls, or a focus on a single mechanic or concept.
Only requires a single button (commonly the left mouse button or a single key on the keyboard) to operate the game's controls or interact with it.
