Kashalo has come to"hate"playtesting the game, jovially titledPushing It!

With Sisyphus, whoseSteam pagepromises “levels of frustration not previously thought possible”.

He’s just really sick of that boulder.

I’m sure no other video game developers can relate.

Kashalo is, of course, not being serious and neither am I. I think Pushing It!

With Sisyphus looks hilarious.

I also think it’s hilarious that it’s not even the only Sisyphus sim on the store.

Perhaps if the boulder had ray-tracing it would have squeaked into “overwhelmingly positive” territory.

In fairness, this isn’t worlds away from the average Aristophanes play.

In the eyes of investors and CEOs, every game needs to be a mountain without a summit.

I’ll say this for Sisyphus games, though: they make for brilliant streaming fodder.

Perhaps Bashir Kashalo would find the footage restful too, once he’s done digesting that violin.
