Manages the neat trick of being an engaging idle game and reminding you of the grim reality which you inhabit. You! Yes, you! Your inaction is helping the powers that be bring about the future, and the future is trash!

you must keep going. value not added is value wasted, lost forever in the void. maximise your self interest. free yourself from this mortal coil by the act of watching your bank balance. thrive. reinvest. reintegrate. realise this world is nothing but a plaything under a grey static sky. obliterate empathy. embrace growth. you must keep going.

March 2025
an interesting and unique take on the incremental/idle game formula whereas the goal is both to simultaneously expand your operation ad infinitum, but also temper your expansion and pace it so that it does not exceed your costs and hardware scale. it is also atypical in that the story mode is just that, a story mode. it has an end, unusual for incremental games. the narrative elements here are a bit misleading by their face. this is NOT a game like hypnospace outlaw, despite the Y2K and early-internet aesthetic being a common thread. you are NOT digging for secret info, the game explicitly places you as a cog within the machine and gives you no tools to operate outside this. you mine, and that's all you do. however, there is an interesting meta-narrative experience delivered through that system that provides a very impactful (if not heavy handed and lacking in subtlety) ending. the soundtrack, as a side note, is absolutely phenomenal. silky smooth industrial techno + jungle that compliments the pace, time period, and atmosphere of the game to a T. worth the 6 bucks and change i paid for it, and if you like incremental games for their endless nature, there is an endless mode to dabble in once you complete its campaign.

I don't care about clicker games, but the style of this one had me interested. Banger soundtrack too. Took me 2.4 hours to reach the end, which I think is a good length for it not to get old. Pretty fair for the price, I think. There's also an endless mode that's unlocked when you reach the end, though I don't know if that offers anything extra. Overall, I had a good time with it. Also, make sure you enable the experimental audio player in the settings so that you get Winamp instead of Windows Media Player.

Really enjoyed the demo, bought it as soon as it released. Full game has even more, and tweaked things to make it even better. Great look, great sound design. Perfect balance of flashing colors and clicky noises to make my cocomelon numbed dopamine glands bust a fat load. Easy to get started, hard to put down.
