The verdict

The thinking person's idle game: a spreadsheet-y cat-village sim with a tech tree so deep it feels like a civilization builder wearing an incremental's clothes. Twelve years old and still getting updates.

Hot take

It looks like plain text and plays like a strategy game you'll lose sleep over. If a game can survive since 2014 with basically no graphics, the systems are the graphics — and here they're gorgeous.
