I had some extra time off over New Years and I worked my butt off to make Nihilism Boy.

It is a game that doesn't even matter. If you win? It doesn't matter. If you lose? It doesn't matter. That's the point. The point is there is no point.

There are three levels and two endings. At first, it was going to be a game that you couldn't win, but then I decided to stop being self-indulgent because, you know, if people want to play games they want to win. What's the point in that? I don't know. Hope somebody enjoys this.

I like the graphics... Although, the driving force as you said is a good question?????????

I hope those playing Nihilism Boy do some soul searching as they play and they say, "Oh god. This is meaningless. It's all so meaningless." If I can just reach one person it will have been worth it.
