About Idle_Directive
Idle_Directive is a grid-based idle game about managing inventory and resources to repair what remains of a decaying world. You scavenge ruins, find scattered survivors and work to push back against the world's collapse.
Manage resources
You gather resources manually or let them accumulate idly, then use them to upgrade and improve yourself. Limited inventory space makes item and equipment choices important. Items include utility tools, automation items, storage containers that expand your inventory, and resource producers.
Explore and help survivors
You explore a dying world for hidden points of interest. Many locations contain loot and resources, while critical infrastructure needs repairs and is your prime directive. Pockets of life remain: trade resources with survivors or aid them to build reputation and unlock unique, powerful items or equipment.
Augment your directive
The reset system grants augment points that unlock permanent upgrades. Augmentation also unlocks crafting, trade and NPC tasks later in the game.
