- Unlock new mechanics, systems, and progression layers

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players appreciate the incremental gameplay loop of watching numbers increase, but many find the game's mechanics confusing and poorly explained, particularly around prestige currency acquisition, progression scaling, and UI functionality. Common frustrations include unclear progression systems where rewards inconsistently scale after resets, unclear upgrade requirements that prevent purchases despite having currency, inability to resize the window, and randomized energy producer rolls that make strategic planning difficult. While the free-to-play nature earns some goodwill, the lack of clarit
After several prestiges metaprogression tanked. I would expect to get the same amount of rewards if I prestige at the same point as in the previous runs. But the returns go down while the costs for upgrades go up. One of the problems is, that the energy producer rolls, it has affixes. So in one run you may be blessed because it consumes very little timer while producing a lot of energy and the next one it is the exect opposite. In earlier runs I would get 10+ metacurrency when at 1.5k energy but after a few resets I get 4 at 15K-ish. I did everything I can from my experience to build a foundation to generate progress but I was ultimately punished for it. In the end mechanics are way too obscure to the point to leave me puzzled. It is like someone has to explain to me why a joke is funny - This game needs the dev to explain to you how it this game works so it becomes enjoyable because the ingame hints did not make it obvious what I did wrong. Maybe you are someone who understands the obscure intend so you get it right away, for everyone else I advice to skip it.4 found this helpful
Get it~ Play it! Thank me later?2 found this helpful
Free so yes. But, I don't really get it. One reset I got prestige currency then I never got it again after like 5 more resets, and I couldnt work out how to spend the currency I had, I had enough for an upgrade but it wouldnt buy it when I clicked on it. Also you cant resize the window, I aint playing this wasting my entire monitor. Like 5/10, if you can work out how to play this game maybe it gets better lol2 found this helpful

Entropy Archive is a small experimental game that leans heavily into atmosphere, mystery and the feeling of uncovering something that is not immediately explained. Rather than giving me a straightforward adventure with clearly defined objectives, it encourages me to investigate what I am seeing and gradually work out how its different pieces fit together. The presentation is what initially drew me in. There is a deliberately strange and somewhat unsettling quality to the experience, and the way information is presented makes me feel like I am looking through fragments of something much larger. I enjoy games that trust me to be curious instead of constantly telling me exactly what I am supposed to think. A lot of the enjoyment comes from interpretation. I have to pay attention to small details and make connections for myself, which gives discoveries more weight than they would have if everything were explained immediately. It can feel less like following a conventional story and more like trying to understand an unusual collection of ideas. The downside is that the ambiguity can sometimes work against the game. When I am interested in what I am finding, the lack of explanation ma…
unless your supposed to manual click for unlocks, dont see how to regain stability to let the run... run. just goes to crash with no gains
