About File Hoard

✦ AI summary

File Hoard is an incremental clicker game where you start by downloading files and gradually build up to commanding botnets, undersea cables, and ultimately becoming the internet itself. The game stands out with its dual prestige system, mini-games like virus scanning and defragmentation, 74 random events that parody internet culture, and deep automation options that let you stop clicking and start watching your digital empire grow.

Remember dial-up? The anticipation of watching a progress bar crawl? The satisfaction of finally completing a download?File Hoard brings back that feeling - then cranks it up to absurd levels.

Download

Click to download files. Buy generators that download for you. From humble cursors to botnets, undersea cables, time travellers, and eventually... becoming the internet itself.

Prestige

When your hard drive fills up, archive everything to tape. Tapes give permanent bonuses. Start fresh, but stronger. Then do it again. And again.

Format

A second prestige layer. Reset your tapes for Drives - a permanent currency that unlocks powerful upgrades. Auto-prestige, overclock, critical mass, and a 16th generator that downloads from every possible timeline.

Mini-Games

  • Virus Scanner - Quarantine infected files. Build streaks. Don't click the clean ones.
  • Defragmenter - Swap coloured blocks. Group them together. Your hard drive will thank you.

80 Achievements

Some obvious. Some hidden. Some require a specific sequence of inputs. Browse them all in the achievements tab - with icons.

Random Events

74 events. Your mum picks up the phone. Your ISP "performs maintenance." A Nigerian prince needs your help. Complete click challenges for speed boosts.

Stray Packets

Random files drift across your screen. Click them for bytes, speed boosts, or tapes. Or don't. They'll fade away eventually.

Automation

Auto-clicker, auto-prestige, auto-upgrade, auto-generator. Toggle everything from the automation tab.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

File Hoard is a clicker game with charming retro internet theming that players find engaging and enjoyable for its price, though opinions vary sharply on depth and longevity. Fans praise the escalating pace, witty descriptions, active developer support, and Steam Deck compatibility, while critics argue the core gameplay is shallow with minimal meaningful progression from the prestige system. Most positive reviewers feel it's worth buying at its current price point as a fun casual clicker experience.

Not recommended Mar 6, 2026
This game probably has about an hour of playtime to it and there really isn't anything going on for that hour. Very shallow gameplay even in the clicker genre. Prestige system has hardly noticable effects and doesn't change gameplay in any way. I'm being really critical here because this game is being sold for $7. You've pretty much seen all the game has to offer in the first 10 minutes.

I've been really enjoying this! It started off quite simple and builds up at a good pace (which is perfect because I'm impatient). The prestige system is awesome and now my game is absolute chaos of crazy numbers. I love the little charm in the descriptions, file names and how ridiculously you go from slowly downloading a file of a few bytes to taking over the entire internet. The developer seems to be quite active with updates on their games, too, which is always a promising sign. Oh and it works great on steam deck, which makes it even more addictive :D

A nice little clicker game reminiscent of the early days of the internet. Recommended for the price. Update: The latest updates, like the virus scanner, are great ;-) It would be fun if the game could optionally use real filenames (e.g., from the Downloads folder).

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
