About Progress Game
Progress Game offers a distilled idle experience in a 2D UI‑based world where monsters are slain, resources are farmed, and equipment is crafted or upgraded. The game runs unattended, rewarding the player with short bursts of progress whenever they return.
The title is completely free, contains no monetization, and supports single‑player play with Steam Cloud and family sharing. Development is ongoing, promising additional content beyond the two currently available worlds.
01 / THE GUIDE
Gameplay Loop
The core loop consists of fighting monsters, gathering resources, and crafting or upgrading gear. Each action yields immediate feedback before the game continues on its own.
Players can let the game run in the background and return periodically to collect the results of their idle progress and decide on the next upgrade or spell.
- Watch which monster provides the most resources before focusing your farming efforts.
- Note the time between visits to gauge how quickly upgrades are paying off.

Gear Tiers
Players can craft and upgrade three distinct tiers of gear, with weapon‑masteries improving as you fight.
Level‑up grants stat‑points that can be spent to further enhance your character, allowing deeper customization of power growth.
- Allocate stat‑points to both offense and defense to see which combination speeds up monster kills.
- Upgrade lower tiers first to ensure a smooth transition to higher‑tier gear.

Worlds and Zones
Two separate worlds are available, each containing its own zones and thematic elements, unlocking new monster types and resources.
Exploring zones within a world provides variety in encounters and materials, influencing crafting options.
- Focus on one world at a time to learn its monster patterns before switching.
- Track which zones drop the resources needed for your current gear tier.

Spell System
Spells can be learned to empower the character, offering additional ways to defeat monsters and improve resource collection.
Improving spells works alongside gear upgrades, giving players multiple avenues to increase overall power.

Achievements are unlocked through playing, and each one empowers the character when earned.
