Wondering what this rather strange-looking screenshot is? It’s an ultra bare-bones, super-minimalist take on the RPG genre. It has no graphics or sound to speak of, and gameplay basically involves clicking stuff - but somehow Japanese developer Nekogames has captured the pure essence of RPG gaming in this stripped-down browser game. Work your way through the dungeon collecting “treasure”, looting “chests”, and leveling up your weapons and stats so you can kill the increasingly challenging “boss monsters.” It’s short, but I found it fun - and a really fascinating exercise in the essence of gaming. It might not be your cup of tea, but give it a go - and don’t forget to choose the English language option! Check it out here.
