Genre map

Incremental games, mapped by how they grow.

Start with the genre’s cleanest entry points, then move into deep prestige ladders, automation sandboxes and games with an actual ending.

Incremental games turn repeated actions into systems that eventually run themselves. The interesting question is what happens next: a meaningful reset, a new layer, a build choice or an ending.
