I found this while browsing things tagged as incremental games, and wound up liking it a great deal. I'd say its progression is a little more like an RPG than what I'd think of as an incremental game, but I wound up pretty hooked despite it scratching a very different niche.
Definitely looking forwards to seeing where you go with this :)
That's great, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Your perspective on the genre/tags seems very reasonable to me. Personally, I view it as something of a mashup of interactive fiction and RPG with some incremental mechanics (e.g. unfolding complexity, multiplicative scaling, and "prestiging") mixed in, but I definitely understand the point of view that it feels different from many incrementals.
Makes sense! I definitely see what you mean about the unfolding feeling of something like the Candy Box games, and the prestiging. The distinction can be pretty arbitrary and vibes based, so it's tough to say what does and doesn't make an incremental. Still, it's rad, regardless of what subgenre it falls into!
