Idle Games

4 games

Idle games invert the usual deal: instead of asking for your full attention, they ask for a little of it, regularly. You set something running, come back to a bigger number, and spend it on making the next wait shorter. The satisfaction is in the curve, not in any single moment.

About Idle Games

They are the most browser-native genre there is — a tab you leave open, a decision every few minutes, nothing to install, nothing lost if you close it. Expect early progress to feel slow, and to look absurd by comparison an hour later.
