Increlution

Increlution is a minimalistic incremental game about time management, with inspiration from roguelite games. You manage jobs, constructions and explorations to survive as long as possible, using tools such as food and buildings that you unlock over the course of each life. As time passes, your health declines ever faster until you die; each new generation inherits progress from previous lives, improving its instincts and chances of survival.

Manage your time

You plan actions with a step-by-step queue, and the game carries them out automatically. When the queue is empty, the game pauses so you do not lose time. You can prioritize an action over the queue at any point if you prefer to play more in real time.

Develop your skills

Actions use skills such as Farming or Woodcutting. Each skill has Generation levels, which rise more quickly and provide greater benefits within a life, and Instinct levels, which increase more slowly but persist after death. Together, these levels determine how quickly you perform actions that use the skill, freeing up time for other activities that can help you survive.

Progress through the story

Exploring the world reveals tools that improve your chances of survival. The game has no procedural content and can be completed. Its 11 chapters currently available in Early Access contain approximately 220 hours of unpaused story content. The story is intended to expand to between 20 and 25 chapters, and the currently available New Game Plus feature is planned to expand with an option to continue playing after the story is complete.

Generational progression

Each generation has a better chance of surviving than the last, and surviving longer improves those chances further. Death is inevitable, but progress from previous lives carries forward. Most bonuses compound, while the progression numbers are tuned to remain understandable.
