I think someone actually made a game like that

"A" game?

A game where you literally play as Sisyphus and put stickers on the boulder

Oh OK I was just pointing out the existence of trillions of games with that kind of clicker mechanic. It's just a number going up upon an action

cookie clicker made a banger of a game and then people realized they could just copy 80% of it, rebrand the imaging, and add microtransactions. and now it's a entire genre

It’s extra funny because the creator is just this random guy on tumblr who barely talks about the game because he didn’t realize it would go viral

Thank you, that looks stupid I must have it

iirc it's a rage game in the vein of getting over it, so if you haven't heard of that one either, you might also like it. i don't know if you can actually complete the sisyphean task

I think you can, it just puts you back to the bottom though (I can't remember if it changes it's been a long time since I watched someone play/complete it)

I have played getting over it, I was shit at it, but surely rolling a ball up a hill won't be so hard

One must imagine Sisyphus already happy without incremental game mechanics for the struggle towards the heights itself is enough to fill a man’s heart.
