Sisyphus: Push the Rock

Oblac

About this game

Every day, Sisyphus pushes his rock up the hill. Today, you turn the knob.

Sisyphus is a small, calm pixel-art game. Under a window to a Greek hillside sits a bronze knob. Turn it, and Sisyphus leans into his boulder and climbs. Stop, and he holds on and catches his breath.

- Time moves only when you push. The sun rises over the sea, crosses the sky and sets behind the hill. Then come the moon and the stars.
- Every day has its own weather: clear skies, drifting clouds, windy days with gulls, and rain.
- Wise words appear as you climb: almost 150 lines from Camus, Heraclitus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Homer, Lao Tzu and more, and many from Sisyphus, the Rock and the Hill themselves.
- Olive trees, umbrella pines, cypresses, almond trees in bloom and broken columns pass by on the way up.
- Every step of the knob clicks, with a light tap of haptics. Sound can be turned off.
- Your day, the sun and your place on the hill are saved. Come back anytime.

No ads. No accounts. No data collected. Just the hill, the rock and you.
