About the game

What players say

Loot Box Quest by Going Loud Studios is a deceptively simple incremental game that uses the familiar structure of clicker mechanics as a platform for satire, quietly dissecting the very systems it imitates. At its surface, it appears to be another entry in the long line of idle games built around clicking, upgrading, and watching numbers steadily inflate. However, the longer you engage with it, the clearer it...

A lovely little idle game that has a minor story to follow. I thoroughly enjoyed DLC Quest and this game, while different, did not disappoint either. It's sad to see nothing else was made after this as I really did enjoy the vision behind each game! Definitely give this a try if it sounds even remotely interesting to you.
