Game Description

A Dark Room creates a roguelike experience within the incremental genre. It starts the game as a very simplistic interface, providing a single button to progress, but quickly integrates multiple resources, building construction, equipment, and more. It is available in both browser and iOS.

Resources
There are a wide range of resources that become available to the player as the game progresses. Notably, wood quickly becomes the most important, as it is required to keep the fire burning and to construct buildings. Other resources that come into player later on include meat for curing (which can then be used to keep the player fed during expeditions), leather, and steel.

Buildings
Huts are just the first building that become available, and will allow the player to receive population to help support the player's campsite. People that have moved into huts can be assigned jobs, from gathering wood to mining for coal. These jobs all produce resources, while some will also consume them. Raw meat, for example, will be consumed when producing cured meat.

Equipment
The player will be given the option of crafting equipment. There is a long list of items available to make, but they include weapons, armor, bags to carry more goods when on an expeditions, water reservoirs to carry more water, and more. These become vital to the progression of the player late game.
Alternatively, some items can be found while out on expeditions. Swords, guns, bullets, and more can be found from either felled enemies or hidden caches.

Expedition
Once the player has received a compass, they will be able to go out on an expedition. While out, the player must maintain enough food and water to ensure that they don't die. Water is consumed once ever step, while cured meat is consumed once every 4.
The player may randomly encounter enemies while outside the safety of the camp. As the player progresses further and further away, the enemies become stronger and faster, meaning that the player must ensure that they have enough skill to defend themselves. This will generally consist of arming themselves with better weapons (such as rifles).
Houses, caves, mines, and more can be found while out. If the player clears a location of enemies and reaches the end, they will generally be rewarded with a cache of items. This can include meat, but may also hold rarer items such as steel swords or grenades. Once the location has been cleared, it may be turned into a safehouse. Once a safehouse has been established, it will populate with a random amount of cured meat for the player to collect while out travelling. A safehouse can only be visited once per trip and will automatically replenish the player's water supplies.
Roads will be made from the safehouse back to the camp. While on roads, the player will not be attacked at all.

Civ Builder, Clicker, Idler, RPGI don't no much about the game as I didn't play it too long. It seems a little slow but when more developement has been done it may turn into a great game. You start being a part of a civilization and there are currently two people in there that tell you what you can do (kill goblins, mine, collect bones, upgrade cauldren). There are bosses and eventually you control your own kingdom. I didn't have the audio on that long but it seems like they have some good music.

Harbor Tycoon Clicker

Harbor Tycoon Clicker - Play Idle Game
ClickerVery basic mobile-only (android) clicker game with very linear gameplay. Could be fun for a few minutes, but gets boring very very quickly. Each upgrade is limited (5 level ups max), most of the time you'll have only 1 option to upgrade, the other options are locked until you upgrade your harbor (which you can only do after you max out the other upgrades). So you don't have a lot of exciting stuff to do, and the game is too predictable.The game does feature nice graphics and interesting harbor theme, but these are mostly the only pros of the Harbor Tycoon Clicker.The game interface is a bit unresponsive at times (you have to tap upgrade buttons multiple times before it finally registers your tap). But the clicking part is actually fun and quite responsive. It has nice visuals, and when you use 5 fingers to tap it looks and feels pretty good.Overall, a very boring clicker game with very limited upgrades and very linear gameplay. If you do like the harbor theme, you can try playing it since its free anyway, but you'll probably find this game a waste of your time.
