About Idle Research 2

Idle Research 2 is the sequel to the flask and energy driven Idle Research. This is an addictive, heavily-layered, incremental game that brings strategy and feature synergism to the next level.

Background

You wake up from a timed-cryogenic pod in 2070 on planet Mu Ra Tempel — after the devasting Earth-27 Mutually Assured Destruction incident.Develop yourself, learn about the planet you have waken up on, and become better at literally everything possible! With tons of game mechanics, features, decisions, resources, and statistics, it is up to you on what you want your destiny on Mu to be.

User Experience

Idle Research 2 isn't your typical incremental game, it is built with the user in mind:
  • The idea is that a game you play is your experience, and not everyone's experience should be treated equal! It should be up to you to determine your experience. The game comes with a fully customizable UI inspired by Google Material. Every page will have draggable, feature cards that snap to a grid, making organization and customization simple.
  • Lots of moving, interweaving components with variation that will keep the game interesting. Even when it comes to progression walls!

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.

The Eldest Souls price has barely moved in six weeks, and every cheapest-of-the-day listing we logged came from a key shop. What that means for when, and where, to buy.
