How it feels

A methodical, unsettling click-em-up set inside a vintage OS, where you build a biometric empire one click at a time.

What players say

Players praise the game's tight atmosphere and dystopian themes about data centers and infinite growth, calling it a short but compelling experience that does not overstay its welcome. Some note the incremental mechanics are basic compared to the genre's standards, and opinions split on how much variety the automation offers after the early game.
