The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

КАЙФ имееться.... Музыка добавляет вайба и разлабон наступает.... Когда игра даёт Автоматизацию и Програмирование - эт ВАЩЕ улёт какой то начинаеться... АФК-фарм ресом...Билдо-строение.... Понимаешь что такое настоящие RPG.

Scratches that coding itch without being super complicated or tedious. Very good game. Proud to say I backed the Kickstarter for the sequel :)

why leave your computer on overnight to mine crypto when you can do it to grind for treasures and event rewards instead?
