Imagine Sisyphus Happy

Sisyphus didn’t give up - he decided to lifestream his endless struggle!

A weird mixture of Streamer Simulator, Typing and Minigames about life, spectacle, and making the grind worth living. Push the boulder. Do tricks. Unlock new struggles. Choose your boulder, and try to Imagine Sisyphus Happy!

Progressing from Greek myth to the modern day, the story asks two ultimate questions:

• Which boulder is yours?
• Can you Imagine Sisyphus Happy?

So pick your boulder, and keep pushing.

“The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a human’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” – Albert Camus.

Sisyphus, king of Corinth, has tricked the Gods and Death. To punish him, the Gods condemned him to push a boulder uphill forever, only for it to roll back each time.

But Sisyphus didn't give up! He decided to livestream his infinite struggle as a way to seek joy in a futile repetition. The Boulder is still there... But is it still punishment?
