[I] doesn't exist

Alpha Beta Gamer
[I] Don’t Exist – Alpha Demo
The pixel art animation in "I Doesn't Exist" is fantastic, the text-based interface works well and the puzzles are well designed. It’s the strange game world and the reveal at the end of the current build that will really get you hooked though. This is no ordinary text-based adventure, it’s clear something very different is going on here. By the end you’ll be dying to find out what!

"A Fun, Creative, And Cathartic Experience": [I] Doesn't Exist Review
[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.

[I] Doesn’t Exist Review – A parsing fad
As a bachelor project, [I] Doesn’t Exist certainly demonstrates the technical competency of its developers, but as a game in its own right, it doesn’t particularly offer anything unique or worthwhile. Using parser controls to tell an unconventional narrative is an interesting concept, but the actual conversations to be had are vague, unhelpful, and don’t tell a decipherable narrative. Check it out if you’re jonesing for a hit of retro parser gameplay, but there’s otherwise not much here that makes it stand out.

Hey Poor Player
I Doesn’t Exist Review: >/Reinventing Old Methods
I’ll still stand by the notion that the dialogue could use some fat trimming and the canvas section was just unnecessary, but for all intents and purposes, if you want a blast from the past with a hidden twist all wrapped up in a tidy little package, I Doesn’t Exist is harmless enough that I’d recommend the venture. Just temper your expectations a bit and have some patience set aside for the text-input side of I Doesn’t Exist. After all, who knows when the next time will be that we’ll actually see someone using text-adventure gameplay again.

Adventure Game Hotspot

While it doesn’t quite reach the allegorical heights it aspires to, if you like text adventures or simply enjoy games that subvert the role of the player, then [I] doesn’t exist should keep you solidly entertained for a few hours.
