Idle Game - Games
Found 2 games found
Idle games, also known as incremental games, center on automated progression where players make initial strategic choices to set systems in motion, then watch resources accumulate over time with minimal active input. This genre emphasizes passive play, rewarding patience with exponential growth mechanics, prestige systems that reset progress for permanent bonuses, and satisfying feedback loops. Symbolically, idle games reflect themes of automation, exponential returns on investment, and the tension between active management and passive observation in modern life. Their design often incorporates simple interfaces, escalating numbers, and a meditative quality that appeals to players seeking low-commitment engagement with tangible progression.
