Probability 0

A game by Droqen for PC and Mac, originally released in 2012.
Probability 0 is a game that hides its complexity well. On the surface, it appears to be a simple auto-scrolling game, the likes of which are particularly prolific on mobile devices, with simple controls and no depth. But that is not the case here. The game does auto-scroll through procedurally-generated environments, and the player’s starting movement options are very limited, but tucked behind this simple exterior is a game that offers a great deal of depth, and many reasons to come back and keep playing.
