The Tedium and You is an experimental first-person exploration game 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 and 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 is an exploration of low-grade existential dread, offering a strange commentary on the self-definition of meaning. When the world itself has no intention of giving you a clear, solid, objective meaning, you either create your own or give in to the tedium and quit.
