Steam Idler Fest is on its way - starting Monday, February 3rd, celebrate all sorts of games about progressing without putting in work. Featuring games where you press a few buttons, upgrade your production rate, and leave the game running to watch the numbers go up!

I like numbers go up too, but if the numbers go up without my input and the rest of the game plays itself without my input then it just seems like a loop of the game not even needing me around. It would be like buying a game then buying all the DLC that unlocks everything.

I’m not an “idle gamer”, but I’d recommend giving Cookie Clicker a try. It is an idle game, but clicking, farming, stock trading, and more are how you get anything done in a reasonable amount of time. It’s an idle game that respects and rewards player input It’s free on web if you wanna try it

I'm about 5 years into my current run of the original Swarm Sim. I'm running e1575 mutagen and have e1938 mutagen waiting. It's been about a year into this accession and I've just gotten to the point where I'm making progress again.
