“《I doesn't exist》是一款文字冒险游戏,游戏交互基本以文字形式来进行,画面为DOS时代的复古像素风,玩家扮演的主角通过打字的方式与NPC互动,从而触发剧情,推进故事的发展。可以选英语进行游戏,但需要付出比较多的耐心,因为文字量很大(词汇倒不是很难),需要细细阅读,好在有不少关键信息是大写的,大概这也算是一种提示。游戏中存在着比较鲜明的META要素,所以用文字进行互动的时候很有代入感。”

“The pixel art animation in "I Doesn't Exist" is fantastic, the text-based interface works well and the puzzles are well designed. It’s the strange game world and the reveal at the end of the current build that will really get you hooked though. This is no ordinary text-based adventure, it’s clear something very different is going on here. By the end you’ll be dying to find out what!”

About This Game

Relax, get comfy, have an existential crisis.

I Doesn’t Exist takes the fun of classic text-based adventure games, and adds a new dimension with beautiful, handcrafted pixel art. Though the game can be enjoyed in one sitting, repeat playthroughs are encouraged…


Freed from the constraints that limited text adventures of the past, I Doesn’t Exist uses a natural language processor (NLP) to offer more meaningful interactions with the game. The NLP technology allows the game to interpret a wide range of emotion and intent from player input, freeing the experience from predetermined commands.




A moment of consciousness, a cold stone floor beneath your hands. A gentle gust of wind brushes past. Are you back again? Or have you never left? A beating heart, not your own, safely tucked away. Protected from intruders, it holds the key to salvation. Your freedom lies beyond that door. Everything you could ever want.

Go. Through. That. Door.
