The Tedium and You (Web Demo)
This is a web-based, in-progress version of a game called The Tedium and You. I typically focus on non-web builds, as I feel the experience is better suited for them -- but this web build is here so I can still easily show people the project when I need to!
HOW TO PLAY
You'll want to use first-person controls: use WASD to move, the mouse to look around, and E to interact. If you accidentally turn on the dev third-person camera, P or middle-click should take you back to standard first-person game view.
BRIEF OVERVIEW
The Tedium and You is an experimental first-person game developed by Noah Kuhn featuring infinite, not-necessarily-Euclidean procedural generation and themes of meaninglessness. Getting points is easy: just walk back and forth across a boring hallway. But that likely won’t hold your interest. Explore the facility instead to find that the more you see, the less you know; halls wrap in on themselves, rooms aren't always where you expected them to be, and you just can't seem to escape the soulless corporate carpeting and ticking clock.
The game offers a quiet commentary on the self-definition of meaning: when the world itself has no intention of giving you a clear, solid, objective meaning, will you determine your own or will you give in to the tedium and quit?
