Let’s be honest: we’ve all spent the last few years trying to optimise every second of our lives. We’ve got apps for deep work, trackers for our sleep, and notifications to remind us to breathe. Today, Ridiculous Games is here to burn all of that to the ground.
The studio has officially announced the release of their aptly titled new project, A Ridiculous Waste of Time. And no, it’s not a productivity hack disguised as a game—it is exactly what it says on the tin.
What Is It, Exactly?
In an industry obsessed with “meaningful progression” and “complex skill trees,” A Ridiculous Waste of Time takes a sharp left turn into the absurd. It’s a collection of mini-games and interactions designed with one goal in mind: Zero utility.
- Mindless Interaction: Think digital bubble wrap, but weirder.
- Anti-Achievements: Earn badges for doing absolutely nothing for twenty minutes.
- Chaos Physics: Interact with objects that defy logic and serve no purpose other than to look cool when they break.
Why We’re Actually Excited
It sounds counterintuitive, but there is something incredibly refreshing about a developer leaning into the “play” aspect of gaming without the pressure of a global leaderboard or a 60-hour campaign.
“We realized people were spending too much time feeling guilty about ‘wasting’ time on their phones,” says the team at Ridiculous Games. “We wanted to create a space where wasting time is the objective, not the byproduct.”
Key Features
| Feature | What you actually do |
| The Void | Stare at a screen that occasionally stares back. |
| Infinite Toggle | A series of switches that do absolutely nothing when flipped. |
| Philosophical Loading Screens | Deep thoughts that disappear before you can finish reading them. |
The Verdict
If you’re looking for the next Elden Ring or a tactical shooter that requires 200% brainpower, keep walking. But if you’ve had a long day and want to turn your brain into a puddle of happy mush, this might be the most important “waste” of your day.
A Ridiculous Waste of Time is available starting today on iOS, Android, and Steam. Go ahead—give yourself permission to do nothing.
Do you think modern games have become too much like “work,” or is a game with zero objectives just a step too far?
