There Is No Game is a Flash game created by Kamizoto in 2015, done in pixelated images.Wait, did we just say it was a flash game... We mean it's a flash non-game!! Well, at least that's what the narrator wants you to think. There's a black screen, with the words THERE IS NO GAME and a deep-voiced narrator (who addresses you solely as 'user') greets you and tells you that there is no game. But you click things (starting with the 'o' in the title), and the narrator gets angry, and as for what happens or if there's a game...well, you'll just have to wait and see.A sequel, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension was not released on August 6th, 2020, since you cannot release a sequel to a game that doesn't exist.It can't be played here.Compare to stikir.

Title Drop: Happens twice. Once at the beginning ("Hello, user, I have bad news. Actually, there is no game.") and once at the end, when he says "Maybe we could be friends...Nah, that's not a good idea, we would get bored quickly together. Why? Because as I said...THERE IS NO GAME!!!!".

comment
Failure Is the Only Option: Zigzagged. You can't stop the glitches, even with the goat, however, upon using the goat, the glitches, while not exactly "stopped", fill up the screen and then disappear, making everything return to normal. You can even forgive the narrator.

Foregone Victory: It's impossible to lose in the Breakout clone— if the ball goes past the paddle, it just bounces back off. Furthermore, its bouncing will subtle target the blocks, assuring that they will be hit.

Sex Sells: When the narrator is wondering how he could sell his 'not-a-game' when it has glitches, the first three things he thinks of to attract users are "sexy" hero girls, zombies, and goats.

Trickster Game: Since the narrator insists that it isn't a game when it actually is, you sometimes have to do the opposite of what he tells you. For instance, when he tells you not to search for a ball on the screen, you have to do just that.

Big "NO!": The narrator does one of these when he finds out that freeing the goat didn't work, or "was a lie" as he put it. He also does a smaller than average but pretty big "no" when you reveal the "There is A" screen.

Shout-Out
 There Is No Game (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: When the narrator puts the speaker icon into a metal box to keep the player out, he says "Call Superman for that one" and then adds a bit of Kryptonite to it "just in case". He then adds that he knows Superman does not exist but "as we are in a ga...no, we're not!" When the narrator is trying to speak Spanish, he says "Señor Zorro." This is also a shout-out to the O.G. French Détournement flim (sic), La Classe Américaine. The line "Vamos a la playa, Señor Zorro." is taken verbatim from its script. It's become a tradition among French video game localizations to sneak some of its lines into scripts, however it's rare to find them translated into original, English text. At the end credits, it says "and these aren't the droids you're looking for", which is a line from Star Wars: A New Hope. When things start glitching out, one of the solutions the narrator thinks of to salvage the not-game is a goat. The goat being locked in the middle of a dungeon-looking area could also be a reference to Escape Goat. "Save the goat, save the world" is a reference to "Save the cheerleader, save the world" from Heroes.
