About
Store description and overview from Steam.
It looks like chess, it feels like an idle game, but it plays like: "How do I even optimize this?". Forget upgrades that give 5% here and 10% there, this new take on incremental games forces you to actually think about the perks you buy and adapt how you play in consequence.
Buy squares of the board, chess pieces, and place your pieces to generate resources.
Focus way too hard on seemingly unsolvable optimization problems and question your sanity.
Go grab a coffee. Maybe take a nap.
Come back to billions and invest in upgrades to gain more.
Stack prestige perks and restart with new ways to gain even more. Always more.
And repeat, until the board belongs to you.
Enjoy incremental games and know about chess
Like to solve "how far can I push this?" challenges
Appreciate when upgrades are meaningful and entirely change how you play and think about the game
Don’t mind restarting runs to test new ideas
Are just looking for a couple of hours swinging between despair and satisfaction
Want a low-effort idle game you can ignore in the background
Don't like diving deep into dense stats tooltips
Get upset when some official chess rules are missing from a chess-inspired game
Expect a profound story, dialogue, cinematic cutscenes, or a battle pass
I built this game to see how far I could push strategic thinking in an incremental game. Well, I think the honest answer is: a bit too far. Mixing these genre was definitely a strange idea, but I hope some of you will enjoy picking systems apart and finding disgusting optimizations. I'm genuinely curious to see what you'll do with it.
