If you struggle with saying no, this game might teach you a thing or two. Say No! More is a quirky NPG – short for “no-playing game” – that revolves entirely around the power of the word “no.” Right now, it's available on Steam at its lowest price yet, with a 93% discount.

In Say No! More, you play as an intern stuck in a bizarre, overbearing office where saying “no” is practically unheard of. The character is quiet, overworked and constantly taken advantage of – until everything changes with the discovery of a mysterious motivational tape. Armed with the power of “no,” the once timid coffee runner begins to push back, turning the company’s rigid hierarchy upside down.

Say No! More is a satirical “no-playing game” that replaces traditional combat and dialogue with the bold use of a single word: “No.” You move automatically through a series of linear scenes – whether in the office, on the street or even in space – blasting your “No!” at overbearing bosses, pushy coworkers and the systems that keep you down. The gameplay is simple, using just a few buttons. Alongside shouting “No!,” you can use emotes like laughing or shaking your head to boost timing and impact. As you progress, you unlock different types of “No” – from icy to fiery – adding more variety and comedy to your rebellion. The game features a vibrant low-poly art style with exaggerated facial expressions and leans fully into its absurd sense of humor. Just don’t expect a long journey – according to GameCritics, the experience wraps up in around two hours.

Reviews: Entertaining at first, but short-lived

The German gaming magazine 4Players tested Say No! More and praised its strong entertainment value. The game delivers the art of saying “no” with humor and charm, combining playful mechanics with a lighthearted message. The nostalgic, 90s-inspired blocky visuals and jazzy soundtrack also earned positive mentions. However, 4Players noted that the humor starts to lose its edge over time. As the story progresses, it leans more into cheesy territory, and the once-refreshing concept begins to wear thin. No final score was given in the review.

On Steam, Say No! More has been well received, with around 90% of roughly 1,300 user reviews being positive. Reception on Metacritic is more mixed: the game holds a Metascore of 67 and a User Score of 6.1. Common points of criticism include its short length, repetitive gameplay and humor that starts to wear off as the story progresses.

93% discount on Steam

Developed by Studio Fizbin and published by Thunderful Publishing, Say No! More was released in April 2021. Normally priced at around $15, the game is currently available for about $1 thanks to a 93% discount running until June 3. According to SteamDB, it’s the lowest price the game has ever seen.
