Try to Satisfy Masked Man by Clicking in This Strange Game
CLICKOLDING is what it sounds like.
Who needs clicking bananas when you can do the same with a tally counter and a mysterious masked man as your audience? CLICKOLDING is a "dark incremental narrative game about thumbing a tally counter to satisfy the distressing masked man sitting in the corner of your hotel room."
"The man in the corner of your hotel room wants you to click something. He wants to watch you click it."

Made by Strange Scaffold, the creator of Life Eater and El Paso, Elsewhere, this weird(ly sensual) game asks you to perform only one action. Click. That. Counter. Don't think about anything else, just the thrilling sound of every changing number and the money you'll get once the tally counter resets and the man is satisfied.

As the game's best features, the developer mentions a "lovingly detailed" tally counter, mature storytelling, a "surreal encounter with the Original Clickold in a land beyond space and thought," weird jazz, and a locked bathroom door.
As pointed out by PC Gamer, CLICKOLDING is being developed in partnership with Outersloth, a funding program for indie developers.
"They pitched such an unhinged and unsettling story it made an entire room erupt and somehow that ended up with them getting funding," Outersloth said.
