One of my favorite games is Antimatter Dimensions. It's an incremental/idle game. It's kind of amazing. But trying to explain to someone what an idler is is pointless and most people who are familiar just think it's a Cookie Cutter clone. But it's not.
It does vertical prestige layers but like each layer, the mechanic of the first part is built on the entire previous layer, then the second part takes what you've built up to and flips it on its head a bit. This continues for several currencies that are used for various things. In December of 2022, the Reality Update™️ was released and once you get to that prestige layer the game turns into a completely diffeent thing. like if you have ADHD or enjoy Factorio but hate all the walking, I seriously recommend it to those people but if you don't fall into that group, it's probably not for you and I can see it getting marked up as the dumbest game you've ever played.
Antimatter Dimensions is one of my favorite games but just don't. And if it does click with you, it sort of sneaks itself into your daily routine. Check in for 30 mins in the AM and do some purchasing, consult the guide. Maybe let it idle through a time wall. Plan prestige challenges in the evening after work. Might let it run all night and check in these three things I'm grinding for next morning, etc. like it doesn't consume your life but it becomes part of you.
Don't play it lol.
Huh, maybe I played before that update but I remember finishing it in like a few months.
There is a post from Oct 2023 with someone asking about a new demo so I think they took the teaser down and are/were planning on making a new one?
I just realized I thought I was commenting on another thread... I'm a dummy.
The pre reality update version can be done in a few months. The update adds like 4 more months worth of grind casually.
Downloading it now because I recently quit Adventure Capitalist due to glitches ruining the game
It's gonna be less flashy and quite a bit different than Adventure Capitalist but if you are used to incremental games you should be fine.
Just poke around and fill bars, buy some automaters, try a few challenges and if you like it, the subreddit should have a link to the discord. Last I checked there was a redux version of the The Guide™️ after the original got taken down by the author but the discord is super well maintained and each prestige layer has its own channel with pinned posts for just about anything you need to help along the way.
The game is gonna seem simple at first but as it unfolds it gets pretty big so having those pins is really nice to have. The game has a surprising amount of content for being a incremental.
Hope you like it!
Well I'm about to do my 2nd eternity. Thanks for ruining my life <3
Wait til Reality lol
