    [I] Doesn’t Exist will challenge and question you in ways few video games do. Supported by wonderful writing, deep thematic topics and addictive replayability, it shines through the darkness of this poor avatar’s world. Most importantly, I came away with a genuine feeling of reflection and introspection, something that loftier, grander games have frequently failed to do. An existential gem of 2023.

    [I] Doesn't Exist is a phenomenal display of how modern technology and nuanced writing can make video games incredibly immersive and emotionally potent, regardless of their size or budget. It's a game that is intelligent, kind, and generous in the variety of experiences a player can have. This is easily one of the most unique games available right now and is an experience that shouldn't be missed.

    Despite some minor issues and some disorienting audio, I appreciated the metanarrative and surrealism of [I] doesn’t exist. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys story-rich games.

    I doesn’t exist offers a fresh take on the text-based adventure game with a compelling philosophical narrative that sets out to surprise and delight.
