Post Apocalypse Microbe Lab

This is an incremental game in the way that watching the clock while doing nothing at your day job is an incremental game. The sad part is that the art and story are well done meaning this is pure wasted potential. Sure there are upgrades. There is waiting for the ultimate result to come about. But the idea that this is an incremental game is a bad joke. This is a waiting game. This is watching a story play out in a long, boring, waste of time. From an incremental standpoint, the only option that makes sense for upgrades is focusing on your gold production as the other four upgrades do nothing to further your production. You have no input yourself to increase this production as your only interaction is endlessly collecting the same samples to increase your level which does nothing besides progress the story at a snails pace. The dev has a serious flaw in their understanding of what makes an incremental game rewarding. I do not have these games on in the background to let my computer take 100+ hours to see a cutesy story play out. I want to see big numbers get bigger. How did thee idea pass testing that the player has no input to the speed of gold production and is entirely at t…

Cleared all the achievements available on Steam in a little under 200 hours, which gets me just over level 100 in-game. If you're crazy, you can get this up to level 999 by putting it on a computer that isn't going to do anything but compute that for the next...however many months? Maybe years? As for why you'd do something like that, as many have already stated, it's a fun idler. A good portion of the draw is if you've played other franchises from Skipmore in the past but it's not a hard requirement. Just a few interesting references here and there and a small story to go along with it. Very little else keeping you aside from number go up and watching Lyse fish with her oversized magnet on occasion. For an idler, it does that job well. If nothing else, it qualifies as a desktop toy for the office, which I more or less used for myself, especially since I took the time to send bugfix data to the devs on a somewhat rocky start of the release, all of which has been cleared by now, so they get points for tackling that as fast and efficient as they did. That might have been part of the fun of all of this personally, for me, so I doubt this will apply to you playing that but I d…

It is a cozy game they said, it will help you relax and look at cute android girl fishing they said Then game hits you with existential crisis.

I love this type of game, this one is very cute and cozy !!

nice, slow, peaceful. i'm not huge on this type of idler, but i'm enjoying my time with this one well enough. you get exactly what you see on the tin, just a straightforwards desktop toy with two main currency loops and six scaling upgrades. it won't really surprise you mechanically past a certain point, but the diaries take a while to get to, so you'll still be getting some new content periodically.

a fun little idle game, and it fits into the wider universe well. honestly i think this is somehow the most widely lore-heavy game yet.
