from game over to over the game
“Game Over“. How many times have we seen it on the screen? “Game over. You lost”. A concept that firs appeared in the 1970s and 1980s, the arcade era, when gamers flocked to arcades to try their luck and challenge records. The rules were simple anche ruthless: run out of lives? Game Over. No more coins in your pocket? Game Over. Everything revolved around that final moment, when the game came to an end, and there was nothing left to do but pick up one’s belongings and resign oneself.
Over time, however, “Game Over” took on an almost mythical status. With the arrival of home consoles, that black-and-white screen has moved from the arcade to the living room, but the charm of the phrase has remained intact, almost as if it were a rite of passage, a test of perseverance.
But is “Game Over” really the only possible conclusion? For us at Over The Game, the answer is no. We have decided to turn the concept on its head, to be those who do not stop at the end of the game but go beyond it, who are – literally – Over The Game.
playing not only to play
In Over The Game, the game never ends. With our games, each level overcome can be an opportunity to turn a gaming experience into something more. Because we believe that gaming can and should be more than just a pastime: it can become a means to make a difference. Each game represents a chance, an opportunity to learn, to grow and even to improve the world around us.
Our games are designed to entertain, of course, but also to inspire, to push players to overcome their limits, to gain awareness and to value diversity, both on and off screen.
Over The Game: when every game becomes a new beginning
In a world where “Game Over” has always marked the end of a challenge, we prefer to imagine it as a new beginning, a stage to start again stronger and with new possibilites. Each game can become a journey that does not end in a screen, but leaves a mark.
So why settle for ending it all with a “Game Over”?
