Paid pixel art adventure
There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension is a mind-boggling adventure game from Draw Me A Pixel. Although it adopts a pixel art style for most of the game, it’s anything but simple. Its retro sensibilities are immediately counterintuitive with its exclusively point-and-click game mechanic. It’s a weird, surreal adventure spanning multiple game universes, each being a game and an experience of its own.
Simply put, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension has an outlandish premise that makes it a more coherent, 2D alternative to The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe or Superliminal. Aside from the visuals, also expect a banger soundtrack.
A comedy-adventure unlike anything else
At its core, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension is a comedy offering you can play with just one hand. Be warned, though. It has a lot of content that it manages to cram in a very short playthrough. You can complete a run within an hour or so, which is quite short for a paid game. On the plus side, it has good replayability value.
As mentioned, the design is quite weird in itself. It offers 3D graphics in a flat, pixel art-style delivery. Usually, this visual approach is applied to 2D platformers and RPG games. With this game, however, it feels like playing an emulator. It has puzzle games, pinballs, adventures, and even a media player—all offered through its point-and-click mechanics.
Lastly, it has a lot of surprises that will get you asking if it’s a bug or a feature. Even the developers are aware that it has a lot of bugs, and it’s up to you to find out which and survive them all. Lastly, it has a lot of humor included every step of the way. It has riddles that require logic and puzzles that are deceptively simple.
Crazily addictive retro
Overall, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension is a must-have game. Whether you’re looking to unlock all achievements or you only need a casual game in between your serious games, this is a fun experience that will keep you coming back for more. It might take a bit of getting used to, though, as it appears to have a lot of bugs—most of them actually features and are intentionally added.
