Everything is a sim-RPG where you can play as anything, and everything. It's 80% off until June 19.
David OReilly's Everything — the award-winning philosophical simulation where you play as literally anything from bacteria to galaxies — is 80% off on Steam at $2.99 until June 19. It's also the first video game to qualify for an Academy Award.

Before you start wondering how Valve pulled off the deal of the century, let's clarify: Everything is a game. Specifically, it's the award-winning philosophical simulation by David OReilly, and it's currently 80% off on Steam at $2.99 until June 19, 2026.

The game itself is genuinely worth talking about. Released in 2017, Everything lets you control thousands of different objects, ranging from microscopic organisms to buildings and even planets, to explore the existential philosophy of Alan Watts and the notion of universal oneness. You start as a bear, then become a pebble, then a solar system, then a molecule of something that used to be a mountain. Everything moves through rotation — actual rolling, with perfectly static limbs — which makes the experience very different from anything else out there.

It's also arguably the most critically decorated weird game ever made. Everything became the first real-time interactive project to qualify for an Academy Award, after its 11-minute gameplay trailer won the Jury Prize for Animation at the Vienna Shorts Festival. Polygon gave it 9/10, calling it a "magical playpen of being, rather than doing," while Game Informer scored it 8.5/10. It currently has a "Very Positive" rating on Steam across 2,303 reviews.

SteamDB shows the lowest ever recorded price as $1.94 (-87%), so this isn't technically the all-time low — but at $2.99, the gap is negligible. Have you ever wanted to be a philosophy lecture narrated by Alan Watts while tumbling through the cosmos as a confused elk? Now's your moment.

The deal ends June 19, 2026. Check Everything out here.
