The verdict

A monument to layered progression: reset systems stacked on reset systems, each unlocking the next, for literally thousands of hours. Free, community-beloved, and now on Steam as of 2026.

Hot take

This is the deep end of the pool — it will happily eat a year of your idle life. That's not a warning to the genre's faithful, it's the entire appeal, and Synergism delivers it better than almost anyone.
