About Spreadsheets and Nothing More
Spreadsheets and Nothing More is a minimalist simulator where players spend 90 minutes entering basic data into spreadsheet cells. Developer Rinanda Hidayat released it August 19, 2025, exclusively for PC. The game offers no narrative, goals, or progression beyond typing numbers and text into grids. It’s a single-player experiment in repetition, designed to mimic monotonous office work. The concept is as simple as it sounds: open a spreadsheet, input data, and repeat. No enemies, no puzzles, no objectives, just the sound of keystrokes and a blinking cursor. Ideal for those curious about hyper-focused mundane simulation.
Gameplay
Each session involves copying text or numbers from a source document into a spreadsheet. Tasks vary slightly, sometimes entries are numerical, other times alphabetical. Controls are basic: keyboard only, with no shortcuts or automation. The game auto-saves progress but offers no milestones or rewards. A typical 90-minute run involves alternating between data entry and watching a progress bar that fills at a constant rate. There’s no time pressure, but the repetitive nature can feel draining or meditative depending on the player. The interface is stark: white background, monospace font, and a digital clock counting down remaining playtime.
What Players Think
Community ratings split 68% positive, 32% negative. Completion rate is 72%, with average playtime at 1.5 hours. Moods reported: 48% amused, 32% bored, 16% curious, 4% annoyed. Critics call it “oddly soothing” and “boredom incarnate.” One user wrote, “I didn’t realize how stressful spreadsheets could be until this.” Another noted, “It’s like a screensaver for accountants.” Achievement data shows 12 total rewards, with 85% of players unlocking only 3 on average. Price at launch was $14.99, now 15% off on Steam.
PlayPile's Take
This game is a polarizing pick for fans of anti-games or minimalism. It’s neither entertaining nor frustrating in traditional terms, its value lies in its ability to highlight the tedium of data entry. At $12.74 post-discount, it’s a low-risk curiosity. Achievements add slight replay value, but 72% completion suggests many quit early. Best suited for those with idle time and a desire to critique modern work culture through simulation. Not a recommendation, but a conversation starter.
