NOTPRON

Notpron is not the first ever online puzzle game, it does not have impressive graphics or fancy interface. As a matter of fact, the game itself was just a hobby project for its creator, David Münnich, who admitted that he did not spend much time on taking care of the details and if he would start the game today, he would have done a lot differently. Nevertheless, from the beginning, Notpron became surprisingly popular, mostly due to it unusual approach and unique style.

Notpron is close to the concept of meta online games, where the website you are visiting is not the only source of the clues and solutions, the game breaks the canon of puzzle games (or rather expects you to find the solution where you would not assume you will find it). The first steps are easy, the game draws you in and explains the basics - you should look not only on the website, but sometimes literally behind the website, to find how to make another step. But after a few such tutorial-like clues, you are left on your own - you have a mystery in front of you and only your brain to work out how to solve it.

It is a raw, unpolished project that keeps people trying to solve the puzzles further and further without really knowing what is the point of all of this. Right now, the game has about 140 "levels" you have to get through before you can find the solution, but out of about 19 million users, so far, only less than 100 actually finished the game and that says something about how challenging it really is.
