The bowler-hat-wearing, dubstep-bash-throwing *Minecraft* creator created a quick little game about exploring the squirmy mental content of a nihilist. Coded for the latest Ludum Dare game jam, *Drowning in Problems* is sort of an existential take on the *Cookie Clicker* genre. This text-based, choice-laden leveling system tells a story about all the drawbacks of having an highly-intelligent, post-Descartes, over-thinking brain, skill point by skill point. In any case, the game is sweet and worth your time and totally adds a thoughtful dimension to the new class of spreadsheet games like *Candy Box*.
