Das Game is a tongue-in-cheek look at the genesis of some modern philosophy from German existentialists. The gameplay is abstracted and purposefully confusing. The player needs to figure out what to do - just like in life.
Das Game is inspired by three philosophers from the 20th century: Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein. Its a tongue in cheek romp exploring the ideas that these philosophers addressed.
The game started at Toronto Global Game Jam and has evolved into what you see today.
