Sisyphus braces against the stone on an ochre mountain slope

The story is in the return.

Sisyphus: The Walk Down is an illustrated narrative game about effort, repetition and acceptance. Hold to push the stone uphill, release to catch your breath, then walk back down and begin again.

Across ten loops, a story written and performed by Chris Blumzon gives familiar ground a changing meaning. Memories of Corinth, encounters on the mountain and a small white flower interrupt the recurring task.

The story ends; the walk can continue.

The iPhone and iPad app works offline, saves progress on your device and includes subtitles, separate narration and music controls, and an optional tap-to-start/stop movement mode.
