How to Grow Your Sausage is a desktop incremental game in which a sentient sausage takes control of a butcher’s mind in order to feed itself. It sits in the corner of your screen and grows from your ordinary computer use — every keystroke, click and button press feeds it. Money buys grinders, cleavers and meats that speed the process up, and two layers of prestige (a standard reset and a Time Travel layer) provide the long tail.

Key features

Your real work is the resource

The game is fed by input you were producing anyway. That is the defining trick of the desktop-toy incremental: it removes the guilt of idle games by attaching progress to time you were already spending at the keyboard, rather than to time you spend staring at the game.

Two prestige layers instead of one

A standard prestige reset grants permanent multipliers and points for exclusive items, and a second Time Travel layer multiplies gains again. Single-prestige incrementals typically run dry in a few hours; the second layer is what converts a cheap novelty into something that still has numbers to give a week later.

Cosmetics that survive the resets

Hats, counters and skins unlock as the sausage grows and persist through prestige. In a genre where every reset erases progress, visible permanent unlocks are the only proof of how far you have actually come — which is why they carry more weight here than cosmetics usually do.
