Everything is a 2017 indie simulation developed by David OReilly that explores philosophical themes through sandbox gameplay where players shift between every form of existence in the universe. The game combines form-shifting mechanics with idle-exploration, shifting scale recursively from subatomic particles to galaxies while Alan Watts delivers philosophical narration. Players describe the experience as atmospheric and contemplative, with reviewers highlighting the existentialist themes and the appeal of letting the game play itself. The soundtrack accompanies this meditative journey through a medium-length solo experience designed for relaxed play. Priced at $14.99 on Steam, the game is verified for Steam Deck and holds an 84 percent positive rating from over 2,200 reviews.
