Palimpsest Idle

A monastery of monsters, written in inkPalimpsest Idle is an idle action-RPG that takes place on the page. Every enemy, every blade, every scrap of armour is drawn as illuminated manuscript art on bone-white parchment, and all of it wants to kill you. You start at the first stage of the Wilds with a single weapon and no history. Thirty-five zones later you are standing in the Void Observatory at the end of the Arcane, and the only thing that got you there is the build you assembled on the way.

Tap to strike. Loot what falls. Push until something stops you, then find the build that gets you through it. The loopTap to fight. Every tap lands your weapon damage. Crits, super-crits and multistrike echoes turn steady tapping into sudden bursts. Kill fast to summon the boss. Every monster you clear feeds the Boss Charge. Clear them quickly enough and the stage's boss comes to you. Put the boss down to push higher. Each one you beat opens the stage above it, and a big enough killing blow carries clean through several at once.

Outfit yourself for more damage. Loot what falls, forge what you keep, recycle the rest, then take the stronger build back down the page. Unlock the Auto Pen and the game plays itself. True idle: no hand on the button, progress either way.…
