There is No Game: Wrong Dimension is a 2020 puzzle adventure video game developed by French developer Draw Me A Pixel and released for Windows and MacOS on August 6, 2020, on Android and IOS on December 17, 2020 and on Nintendo Switch on April 14, 2021. It was inspired by creator Pascal Cammisotto's previous 2015 game jam-winning entry There is No Game which he developed under the alias KaMiZoTo. It has been considered a sequel or expansion to its predecessor.
The title is primarily a point-and-click puzzle game, which has homages to various other games including Pac-Man, The Legend of Zelda, and classic point-and-click games, such as Day of the Tentacle. It features a hint system, and verbal and non-verbal clues to solve puzzles. It contains English voice acting, and subtitle options in various languages including Cammisotto's native French.
Upon launching the game, The Game itself, in a voiceover, tries to discourage and actively stop the player from playing, although never explicitly saying why. Once the player works around the barriers set up by The Game, upon launching unleashes a dimensional rift and a software anomaly who calls itself "Mr. Glitch", who declares his intention on doing something to the world - in a running joke, his plan is never actually heard due to some external circumstances, such as advertisements and codes.
