Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
144 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Journey to Incrementalia is a thoughtfully designed incremental RPG that blends idle-style progression with active decision-making, resulting in an experience that feels far more involved than a typical clicker while still embracing the satisfying rhythm of numbers steadily climbing.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What sells it is the grim but entertaining presentation, the tongue-in-cheek writing via the tooltips and side quest dialogues, the actually weaving of a good mystery through those side quests eventually tying into the main quest.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So with its crunchy retro graphics, crunchy dark tunes and satisfyingly crunchy math I'd declare that Journey to Incrementalia is one of the best, proud to show my bias after having such a good time.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I managed to reach NG+3 in about 16 hours, but the game continues beyond that, with each New Game Plus iteration adding difficulty in a way that feels more like solving a logic puzzle than just a simple stat grind.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Artistically, the game pulls of a charming minimalist style, the SFX are really juicy and the music is a total vibe.
