Why?

Why? is a minimalist first-person experience in which you punch through a solid brick environment to uncover the truth behind its existence—or accept that some questions have no answers. Repetition combines with physical, impactful punching, while a disembodied voice delivers motivational feedback at randomized intervals.

Break through the walls

Walls fracture in mathematically unsettling patterns through the Ordered Chaos Destruction system. The game includes cinematic fist animations that account for velocity and angle, and seven hand-illustrated achievement badges.

Sound and atmosphere

An original soundtrack of meditative lo-fi droning accompanies existential commentary recorded in a professional sound booth and heavily processed to sound disembodied. The game also uses Lumen lighting and ray tracing.
