Hello! I just wanted to provide the last major feature previews to provide more updates on where I am at in terms of the next major update THESE ARE JUST PREVIEWS, NOT AN ACTUAL UPDATE. THERE IS STILL NO ETA. I AM STILL FOCUSING ON COLLEGE AT THE MOMENT. My personal goal is end of February or March, and I will announce 1-2 weeks before. But who knows, take this with a grain of salt :) Anywho, here are some screenshot previews: Offline v2.0, from Research Tier 2: Corruption (Flasks Only): That'll be it, stay tuned for more information!

Played this game a while ago on mobile. It was fun returning to it here, but unfortunately it stopped being updated. So will look forward for Idle Research 2.

Unfortunate where this game has ended up. Initially I liked the concept and the way it progressed. Once it started expanded I really enjoyed the way it played out. Sadly I have come to find out that it hasn't been updated in forever and the current "end game" has been limited in such a way as to make the last few achievements exhaustingly annoying. The game has been left in part development and it is disappointing...

Enjoyable short idle game with good pacing, but only lasts a few days before hitting a content wall.

Boring From the Begining... Just another Idle Game where you doubt your time wasted in
