Renowned streamers from across the gaming world have come together to reveal the truth about the speedrun game “Only Up.” Contrary to popular belief, it turns out that nobody ever actually found the game fun. The revelation has sent shock-waves through the gaming community, leaving players and fans shocked.
Ludwig, a YouTuber and gaming personality, posted a video titled: “I Fooled you all.”
He confessed, “Today I’m going to say something no one else is willing to say, Only Up is mid. I’ve only been playing it because it gets lots of views. Why? I have no idea.”
Squeex, another popular streamer, sheepishly admitted, “I thought I was the only one! The constant failing, the repetitive gameplay, it’s more like ‘Only Frustration.” He then proceeded to address his chat by saying the catchphrase “Bazinga.”
Viewers would tune in to watch the same level being attempted hundreds of times, never once suspecting that the streamers were secretly dreading every moment of it.
The game, known for its simplistic yet challenging premise of being a Getting Over It ripoff, had amassed a huge following. Many players attempted to play the game, only to discover the truth behind the fake enthusiasm from their streaming idols.
“The streamers made me think the game would be fun, so I played it. But there was nobody in the corner of the screen laughing and screaming, it was just a broken game,” one viewer decried.
The developer of “Only Up” was taken aback by the revelations. “I had no idea that the streamers weren’t actually enjoying the game. I thought they genuinely loved it. Now I’m questioning my game design choices.”
As the gaming world tries to come to terms with this revelation, “Only Up” now stands as a monument to the art of pretending.
