A meditative, slow-burn village sim where you watch numbers tick up while naming tiny cat citizens and slowly unlocking layers of progression.

What players say

Players praise the deep progression from resetting and the ability to import browser saves, but some find the interface clunky, with tooltips and fixed widths that obscure information. There is disagreement: while many recommend it as a chill idle game, one player prefers Evolve Idle's progression.
