What players say
Players describe To Make a Game as a very short, text-based story that resonates hard with creatives who struggle with procrastination and ADHD. Some call it a touching autobiographical story, while a few dismiss it as a glorified blog post. Most agree it feels less like a game and more like a genuine conversation with the developer.
