The thing is, though that there’s no successful pushes, so the numbers stays at zero, taunting him more
number
number go up
He now has to pay a recurring subscription fee to be allowed to push that rock. Also missing a day would reset his winning streak.
Got to show some love to Bouldy
The secret trick is that each sticker makes it slightly bigger and heavier.
It’s fun to let the rock roll down each time a little different!
In some version of the myth they actually put an exit back to the living world up there. Sisyphus in life tried to cheat death (even succeeded for a bit) which is part of why he wound up in Tartarus. He could stop pushing the rock any time he wanted, but it would mean giving up on escape.
This is a pretty good detail. Makes the story a lot more interesting, and deep.
It feels torturous though. Like he’s just being greedy now instead of being tortured.
Meant to say less torturous.
Well this is what makes it interesting. He has to roll the rock to keep up the lie. But since he does at what point does it stop being a lie? You can ask questions about this and this makes it interesting.
How bout if the owner of the mountain throws him a pizza party once a couple of months.
Someone made this Sisyphus idle game some time ago. (It doesn’t work well on mobile devices)
There is also a Sisyphus game on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/2904890/The_Game_of_Sisyphus/
A roguelite with metaprogression?
I’m in
There’s an iPhone game that’s basically this (called Sisyphus). I got bored pretty quick though.
i get an infinite supply of stickers at work. they lose their luster in about a minute
Not if you work hard for each
Dude needs 11 pieces of flair on his rock.
add different unlockable rocks and micro transactions and you’ve got Sisyphus Impact
