How it feels

a self-aware idle game that turns grinding for in-game currency into a darkly humorous simulated second job

What players say

Players are split on this idle game: some find the early access state too rough with bad UI, bugs, and lost saves, while others praise its addictive progression and a developer who fixes issues quickly. The game rewards frequent check-ins, but critics say it requires too much active clicking for an idle game.
