Hi I'm Zefie and I like watching numbers go up.

Idleon is a relatively good game for watching numbers go up thanks to its large amount of subsystems, which all feed into each other, making you choose where to dedicate your time and resources. Not quite Runescape, but somewhere in between that and the typical idle game.

Like Runescape it's set in an actual space, though unlike it the veneer of being more than a spreadsheet interface is somehow both thinner and harder to see through. Because the game isn't trying so hard to hide it, you feel less inclined to look.

The world itself is uhh...it's...okay. Mostly good art but all designed very functionally. The characters all speak almost entirely in humor which really does not hold up well, if it was ever funny.

Also unlike Runescape, the numbers aren't soulcrushingly far apart. This is helped by most of the systems, unless you're setting up something new, being designed around starting the game once or twice a day or even days apart, if you don't care about the few strictly daily things.

I will say, most of the things in this game designed around it being multiplayer would be better off without them.
