This game is alot shorter and more empty than similar free flash games I've played. Imo, 0,79€ (base price) seems very steep for something that will only last you about 15-25 minutes and has so little content. But one can argue the price of a drink and how long that lasts, yada yada. I've just seen better for free. 1/4 of the time I played was looking for the last achievement and restarting the game a few times, which put me at 26 minutes playtime. I did get a chuckle out of one or two parts which was nice. And the basic idea of the game is pretty good. The voice actor was pretty good too. It beats most flash games in that department. But again, for a paid game I think it should have alot more content. There was plenty of room for more goofy stuff. I only got it to unlock my steam market (at 51% discount) so it served a good purpose for that atleast. If you've got money to throw around for a few laughs, try it. If not, I can't really recommend it.

There's a button at the end of the game that unlocks all the achievements you missed so everything can be completed on a single play through. The game is about 10 minutes or so long depending on quickly you go through the obstacles inside the computer. Rate 8/10 because it was very funny with the meme related jokes.

Small resolution, very short, not that funny, random last achievement (4 playthroughs for me). Fairly fast 100% achievements though.

Good game, but only buy it during discount period as the price is a bit weird? it used to be RM 3, but it is now whatever the price tag is. Discount period will bring the cost down to RM3.

Starting The Game is a very funny clicker. All you have to do in the game is to click the mouse, a computer simulator on the computer, only with limitations. All your actions will be accompanied by jokes of offscreen voice, also there are various memes. Jokes in fact will be directed to your side, making the feeling that you are only a puppet, everything is really funny. On your gaming computer you will find various mini-games and will be able to really kill time. Quite an unusual clicker in which you will amuse yourself by simply spending time in the game.

Starting The Game is a satire meme game. The game takes less than 10 minutes to complete and these were the longest 10 minutes of my life. I had to re-open the game a few times, ALT+TAB caused me to be unable to click at some point so had to restart, at some point the desktop scene got stuck with the notepad open which forced me to restart... What a terrible experience overall. The jokes were OK, but just... no. Way too many bugs in a game that makes fun of bugs. The achievements were super confusing to understand as well, all that to get a button that supposedly unlocks all of them on the final screen. Overall, big NOPE! from me.

No <3 As a meme yes I guess it is ok. But the a general game review the graphics were trash. The gameplay was repetitive and monotonous. And the it wasn't even enjoyable. If it is free go off but I would not request buying the game.

Based on the name and tagline, I thought this would be one of those counterintuitive UI puzzles. It's really just a small handful of random gags you click through linearly. There aren't any points, and there really isn't much of a point. It reminds me of something from the heyday of Flash games; if you have a browser that can run ancient Flash content you may want to try it first, here http://windowsreallygoodedition.com/ or here https://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/winrg , called "Windows RG (Really Good edition)", except that RG is a little more complete as a simulation. Of course this "game" does have the advantages of a voice acted narrator and slightly newer memes than the old Flash gags. I'd suggest adding a lot more scenes, making it nonlinear, adding points and goals beyond a few steam achievements, and adding some challenge where you have to outsmart the game to get it to "start".

I came into this expecting something like "There is No Game" and left upset that I actually spent any money on this. It's boring, unfunny, and buggy. It wouldn't let me start after the narrator stopped talking until I reset the game and went through the intro again. it crashed after I placed the block in cubecraft, then it didn't let me push the money all the way to the case, so I kept looping at the end thinking I was missing something, so I reset again, and when I replayed the entire game, it worked the second time. Yes, it's less than 10 minutes worth of content if you hunt for everything... that is if it works correctly. Then after all that, I found out I didn't even need to sift through this trash to unlock the achievements because there's a button at the end that just gives you all the ones you missed! What? Why make them achievements if you aren't having them achieve anything? This game is the reason why we have downvote buttons

Starting the game is a game that is MEANT to be a joke, but the audio constantly overlays, achievements can be tedious and bug, graphics are wretched and its not worth 2 dollars, maybe not even 50 cents. This game honestly looks like i could make it in scratch in 15 minutes. Avoid.
