How it feels

A slow, idle grind of scavenging and begging that gradually unravels into absurd and humorous paths.

What players say

Players say it is an active idle game that requires constant attention, not a set-and-forget experience. The UI is widely criticized as cluttered and unintuitive, with no offline progress and too many resources to manage at once. Fans of Theory of Magic enjoy the depth and intertwining systems, but many warn that the lack of quality of life features makes it hard to recommend.
