The thing is, though that there's no successful pushes, so the numbers stays at zero, taunting him more
number
number go up
It's fun to let the rock roll down each time a little different!
Gamer Sisyphus keeps grinding without being tempted to pay $20 for a ligher boulder with RGB.
He now has to pay a recurring subscription fee to be allowed to push that rock. Also missing a day would reset his winning streak.
The secret trick is that each sticker makes it slightly bigger and heavier.
Got to show some love to Bouldy
Dude needs 11 pieces of flair on his rock.
Someone made this Sisyphus idle game some time ago. (It doesn't work well on mobile devices)
There is also a Sisyphus game on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/2904890/The_Game_of_Sisyphus/
strong "Orphan Crushing Machine" vibes
I love it !
How bout if the owner of the mountain throws him a pizza party once a couple of months.
There actually is a Sisyphus game that has this. You push a boulder up a hill filled with obstacles and can unlock new skins for the boulder.

I raise you Rock of Ages . The first one is cool, the second game is amazing, with coop n'stuff. It's basically "what if Sisyphus got pissed"
Edit: of course you get different skins for the rock
How did I not know they made a sequel?!
add different unlockable rocks and micro transactions and you've got Sisyphus Impact
i get an infinite supply of stickers at work. they lose their luster in about a minute
Not if you work hard for each
In some version of the myth they actually put an exit back to the living world up there. Sisyphus in life tried to cheat death (even succeeded for a bit) which is part of why he wound up in Tartarus. He could stop pushing the rock any time he wanted, but it would mean giving up on escape.
This is a pretty good detail. Makes the story a lot more interesting, and deep.
It feels torturous though. Like he’s just being greedy now instead of being tortured.
Meant to say less torturous.
Well this is what makes it interesting. He has to roll the rock to keep up the lie. But since he does at what point does it stop being a lie? You can ask questions about this and this makes it interesting.
A roguelite with metaprogression?
I'm in
There’s an iPhone game that’s basically this (called Sisyphus). I got bored pretty quick though.
