@depression, your nickname makes it sound like this is exactly the kind of game you’d enjoy.

Can't say I understood the story, but I clicked until the moon vomited and oil flushed the land... were you on a lot of drugs while making this? 😆

I really liked the hand drawn pencil effects and it was not too long enough so I didn't find myself getting bored, nice entry!

So suspenseful! I made it through! The story is amazing, and the atmosphere is great too. Could use some sound effects, though. Also, I didn't quite get the samovar bit

I can't say it was fun, clickers get real boring real fast

It really does lack some sounds or music here, it would be way scarier, now, it's more trippy or funny I guess?

The pencil shading makes that landscape look properly sick. A clicker about digging for more stuff is a good setup for horror, since it gives you a reason to keep going when you probably shouldn't.

I left my ratings! If you get a chance, please check out and rate our game too: Robot Workshop.

I really enjoyed the concept of turning an incremental clicker into a horror experience by digging into this strange, dying world. That sense of dread—of extracting things that should have stayed buried—is a brilliant setup for the whole game.
