How it feels

A completely hands-off idle game that satirizes the genre by requiring absolutely no input, rewarding the player simply for waiting.

What players say

Players are split on this idle game. Some find it deeply addicting, especially the competitive leaderboard, while others call it a boring waste of money. Many warn that wrapping the game up takes over a year and that some leaderboard players cheat. Achievements are reportedly bugged, with one requiring a billion returns instead of a thousand.
