I’ve always thought these are dumb but I’m starting to think I understand the appeal and wanna try getting into them. It would be cool if it had some strategic or customization elements, is available on PC, and can pretty much fully be played with a mouse. It doesn’t have to be totally idle I’m okay clicking around sometimes I just don’t want to be that engaged. Like a background thought kinda game.

What’s the scoop on this weird ass genre

    Trimps is a pretty long game that gets increasingly complex minigames as you go on. It’s also very idle for the most part once you get going until you need to reconfigure your newest idle minigame. Took me months to hit endgame.

    I’ve also heard good things about Evolve Idle but I never really got too far into it as it felt that it frontloaded too much complexity once you got to your first prestige.
