About
Welcome to the grind, loser. We hope you brought snacks.
You start in the mud. Broke. Confused.
Ten hours later you're running a hyper-optimized mining empire, yelling at your dog for wasting your IRL energy.
This isn’t just an idle game — this is your new second job. Without pay. Without health insurance. But with dopamine.
🛠 What to expect:
- Brutal Progression: Every click matters. Every resource is earned. Regret is a mechanic.
- Deep Crafting Web: If it exists, you probably made it from twigs, dust, and trauma.
- Prestige Mechanics: Reset. Profit. Repeat. Classic, but evil.
- Scaling Like a Maniac: Soft caps. Hard caps. Emotional caps.
- Idle, Not Dead: Plays in the background… until you blink and it’s 3:27 AM.
- Low System Impact: Runs on a potato. Destroys your soul, not your CPU.
🚫 What’s NOT included:
- No microtransactions
- No loot boxes
- No fake "idle" systems
- No blockchain garbage
- No mercy
🧠 Built for people who:
- Reboot runs over 0.01% inefficiency
- Read patch notes for fun
- Optimize their grandma's garden
- Think numbers > feelings

📈 Final Notes:
- Frequent updates

- Steam Deck friendly (but not legally liable for addiction)
