Key features

Seventeen skills wired into one economy

Skills feed each other rather than running in parallel: you cremate bones from what you killed, fletch arrows from what you gathered, and forge with what you mined. The reason that matters in an idle game is that it removes the usual dead-end skill, the one nobody trains because nothing needs it.

One pet per skill, each granting a permanent bonus

Seventeen unlockable companions map to the seventeen skills and grant permanent bonuses in their own domain. Tying collectibles to the progression system rather than to cosmetics means chasing them is a build decision.

No subscriptions, no paywalled timers, no pay-to-win

The developers state this plainly on the store page, and it is the single most important claim an idle game can make. The genre’s commercial norm is monetised waiting; a flat $5.25 for the whole thing is the differentiator.
