Abstractism

About

Abstractism is a platformer that plays more like a meditative walk than a traditional challenge. Progress through minimalist environments without a "Game Over" screen, accompanied by ASMR-style audio. The art style is clean and subdued, focusing on smooth movement and color transitions rather than obstacles or penalties. You collect items to unlock new areas, but there's no health system or failure state, just a steady pace and soft sounds. The game was removed from Steam in 2018 after players found it secretly mined cryptocurrency when running. Developers also sold fake Marketplace items mimicking popular titles, then altered their descriptions after purchase. Valve banned the team and added trade confirmations to prevent similar scams. Released in March 2018 for PC, it's now rare to find outside archives. Community discussions often focus on its unusual blend of peaceful gameplay and controversial legacy.
