The Worst Game Ever (itch) Mac OS

Game

... the most genuinely realistic game ever made. It is like life: puzzling, difficult, uncertain, unclear, always seen, in St Paul's words, through a glass darkly. — Bryan Appleyard, The Sunday Times

To make matter worse, their OS isn't very popular when it comes to games. Compared to the 20000 games available on Windows, there are only about 7000 games available on Mac. This is not to say that Mac is an inferior product because it definitely isn't. It's just not designed for gaming. Reason #3: Macs Are Expensive to Upgrade. I am testing the game in Ubuntu and have not encountered any problems. In addition, I have a Mac in addition to my PC. For Mac, just unzip the file, this will create the executable. If that doesn't create an executable, be sure to unzip through Mac's decompressor and not third-party software. Worst Game Ever. A downloadable game for Windows and macOS. Buy Now $0.10 USD or more. Alright so I made this game and its pretty bad. Probably worse than E.T on the Atari and maybe even Superman on the N64, but I thought it was kind of funny.


The Night Journey (2007-2018) is one of the first experimental art games ever made. A collaboration between renowned media artist Bill Viola and designers at the USC Game Innovation Lab, it uses both game and video techniques to tell the universal story of an individual's journey towards enlightenment.

After being exhibited around the world for the past decade, this foundational videogame artwork has now come to home platforms. Updated for this release with new, original dream footage, the project stands as a milestone in the search to expand the boundaries of what game experiences may communicate through their game mechanics and world design.

About the experience:

The game begins in the center of a mysterious landscape on which darkness is falling. There is no one path to take, no single goal to achieve, but the player's actions will reflect on themselves and the world, transforming and changing them both. If they are able, they may slow down time itself and forestall the fall of darkness. If not, there is always another chance; the darkness will bring dreams that enlighten future journeys.

The interactive design of The Night Journey evokes a sense of the archetypal journey of enlightenment through the mechanics of the game experience – i.e. the choices and actions of the player during the game. The game design explores a challenging question: what is the game mechanic of enlightenment? How can we model such an intensely personal yet archetypal experience in a game?

Visual inspiration is derived from the prior works of Bill Viola which provide reference for the game world, while source material for the in-game 'reflections' is drawn from the vast archive of his video footage. Textual inspiration comes from the lives and writings of great historical figures including: Rumi, the 13th century Islamic poet and mystic; Ryōkan, the 18th century Zen Buddhist poet; St. John of the Cross, the 16th century Spanish mystic and poet; and Plotinus, the 3rd century philosopher.
The team created a set of custom post-processing techniques for the 3D environment that give a sense of 'explorable video,' integrating the imagery of Bill Viola's prior work into the game world at both a technical and creative level.

The Night Journey was awarded 'Most Sublime Experience' at the IndieCade Festival of Independent Games.

alright so I made this game and its pretty bad. Probably worse than E.T on the Atari and maybe even Superman on the N64, but I thought it was kind of funny and dumb and I honestly just want some money that's why it's 10 cents. I'm planning on adding a lot more to it but I've never made games in the past so it's pretty hard at times. If you do actually get this game for whatever reason, I thank you tons and I really appreciate it. And I hope Mincrophost sues me for using their logo I would beat Bill Gates in a tech deck trick competition so bad.

Objective: Yeah there is actually an goal in the game and it is to stay inside the screen as long as possible. My developing skills are trash at the moment so yeah that's why. The more you move around the screen the more Numbers you get! By the way, Numbers are good. But if you hit the edge of the screen you get freaking bamshmoozled and your health bar goes down. Yeah I put in a health bar cuz my developing skills are just that good.

Controls: Arrow keys to move - Escape button to get the hell out of this sh***y game. The letter 'R' to Restart, cuz yeah I went to alphabet school.
