Open World Game: the Open World Game is one of the open world games of all time. It has elements that the best open world games have, like skill trees, skins, encounters, a minimap, a fishing minigame, exp, levels, a seamless world, achievements, hidden areas, a story, and more. You will have an experience playing this game, and it is completely free.
Now, while none of the previous points are false, it might be important to highlight that this game is satirical, and pokes fun of open world games. Completing everything takes about an hour, and the production value is the literal minimum that wouldn't be physically painful to experience. I think the screenshots on the store page explain it well.
There is of course no "real" game here, you just run through the entire map, and input a short sequence of the same movement keys to complete each "encounter". Each encounter also has a corresponding short text entry, and those contain many references, if you care to read them.
Funnily enough, this game is about as enjoyable as some AAA open world games, because it has the same level of difficulty, and the same tedious grind. Except this one is over before the grind can really wear you down. I think that says more about AAA games, or at least my opinion of them, than it does about this game. Of course, I couldn't really recommend you play this, but maybe if you want to feel an internal conflict of whether you actually enjoy these kinds of video games, or if you're just pre-programmed to complete to-do lists and make progress bars go up. At least this takes up only an hour of your life, unlike some games I've been playing for over a thousand hours by now.
