About Karma

Karma



You are a programmer, you study hard, learn new skills, just to make more money.
Then you feel tired. The life's stressing you out.
So you need to entertain yourself. The best way to entertain is shopping.
Buy everything in your sight.
And you need more money.

You are a programmer, as a matter of fact, you don't need to work so hard.
You are a hacker.
And you are not afraid of failure, because you have power...to reverse the result.
Make failure a success.
And you have a lot of money now, getting it so easily.
Purchase, purchase, purchase.
Until you make those weird dreams.
Until your colleagues die one by one.
This is none of my business, you thought.
But, really?

Something is wrong with this world.
  • Study to learn new skills and unlock/enhance works, part-time jobs, items and hacking skills;
  • Work or do part-time job to earn legal money, or chat with your colleagues to reduce stress;
  • Hack to earn fast money;
  • Purchase to reduce stress;
  • Use items to have fun;

There are more secrets to be discovered in this game world. Do you want to know all of them?

✦ AI summary

Karma is a life simulation with repetitive clicker mechanics where you study, work, and manage stress through purchases, hiding an unsettling narrative layer underneath that most players found either intriguingly strange or entirely forgettable. While some appreciated the cryptic story and saw it through to completion, the majority of players criticized the primitive mechanics, tedious waiting times, poor interface, lack of meaningful progression, and the game's tendency to trap players in unwinnable stress states without guidance.

At first glance, it looks like a pretty basic life sim. Study, improve your skills, go to work, make money, buy things to reduce stress… At some point you start hacking and making money more easily. Mechanically, the game never becomes much more than that. The strange part is that underneath this simple and slightly soulless loop, it keeps trying to tell some kind of unsettling story. Dreams, dead coworkers, increasingly bizarre events… eventually the game starts saying, “there’s something else going on here.” Did I fully understand what it was trying to say? Not really. Honestly, I’m not even sure the developer did :D But that weirdness is exactly what made it stick with me. The mechanics are very primitive, the interface shows its age, and most of what you do is basically repeating the same few actions. Still, the game is short enough that it doesn’t overstay its welcome. The achievements can be a little annoying in places, but getting 15/15 was still pretty satisfying. It’s hard to call this a genuinely good game. But if you like digging through old, forgotten indie games on Steam and occasionally finding something that makes you go “what the hell is this?”, it has a certain …

Very little substance to this game. Played less than 10 minutes and got bored quickly. Saw nothing to keep me going with this game. Would not recommend this game. My rating: 1/100

Ok, i've knew the game was bad before buying. But i had a hope in my eyes that this would be interesting in any ways. Well, no way, Sherlock, it is just plain bad game that could be better if devs gave it little more attention. What's so bad? - It is long. I felt that these 3h were eternity. And at some point yours stress control (very poorly managed by hand-clicking "buy" items, and very short time understandable that horny way is the best way) will cease to stress you 'cause your stress level would be negative (hello, mr "chat" once wiped it to zero and got real me stressed as i thought that new stress income had become much more than stress-helpers, very good freaking bonus). And at this time, all you have to do is wait, wait, wait. Or play gacha with chat. Normally, you could just let game play itself, but every in-game day you have to accept incomes/outcomes so no luck here, you have to be present always. - It is pretentious. Very pretentious on its _HIDDEN_LORE_. That comes in the end as reference to popular sci-fi. Oh, wow. Never seen that. How creative. ... Pathetic. I can't say that it consists only of bad parts. it was interesting. First, like, fifteen minutes. To be…

I enjoyed this game through to the end and enjoyed the ending just as much as throughout, It's a bit slow but it does have a nice ending.

Tags: Clicker - Cooldown Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Like the concept and idea but this is too rough and abuses click and wait gameplay. This is a simple game in which you must manage a stress bar by purchasing luxuries, while balanxing work and study. You can actually work and study at the same time which makes no sense, and stress reduction is a little bit indirect with no way of taking control over it making it very possible to box yourself in a corner unless you apply specific progression path. The game has no fast forward option and training new skills and working becomes a tedious waiting game. The game does not fullscreen at all and stays stuck in a small window. Very few art and sound assets, mostly just typing sounds and some doodles. You can buy furniture without having a place to live which makes no sense. Removed for declutter.
