I grabbed this on a whim on a steam sale, and was it ever worth it. This game would be worth it at full price. I absolutely love the primary game mechanic. It's basically playing a TAS. You enter in a series of moves and then watch to see how well they play out, then you tweak what didn't work until you can accomplish what you want to accomplish. The idle aspect is very clever too, in that each time you perform an action you gain familiarity which reduces the cost to complete that action. So you can build a loop that you just barely scrape by and then play something else while it loops in the background. When you come back your character is a master at the actions taken in that loop. The final compliment I'll give this game is the story lore. There's a little bit of colour for colour's sake there, but for the most part every bit of story lore is important. Everything points to something you need to do, hints at a course of action or just hints at the next area to explore. Very well done developers. I'm super impressed.

Picked this up on sale for $2.79 (65% off), and honestly, it’s a steal. The core gameplay loop is all about refining efficiency—tweaking resource management and optimizing progression until you’re running the perfect cycle. Super satisfying if you love min-maxing. It starts simple but ramps up as you unlock better strategies, making every improvement feel earned. For the price, it’s a no-brainer. If you like the thrill of making systems run like a well-oiled machine, this one’s worth your time.

Downloaded this because it seemed interesting, and I don't mind an idle game. However, it quickly became one of the best games I have ever played. The sheer idea of this game is phenomenal! I've always loved the concept of time loop movies, and this game embodies that idea perfectly. I found myself just staring at my loops as I tried to optimize and explore new areas. If I could say one thing to the developers, it would be: please, please, please make another game with the same concept! 5 stars!

Its an idle. Slow paced. For use in the background while you do something else. There are some creative ideas here and would love to see them expanded upon. The idea is every tile you walk across you become more familiar with, costing less mana each time you walk over it. Same with any other action like attacking or interacting. You create a loop around the environment until you run out of mana, trying to find the most resourceful path, collecting items, fighting enemies along the way. I like the idea and there are plenty of stats to increase.

Pretty unique idle game. I enjoyed it. Fair warning: for quick progression you need to kill some NPCs over and over, even after they've helped you and you got to know them. You can keep killing to a minimum, but it's tedious and you can't finish the game without killing people. Whether that's a dealbreaker is up for you to decide.
