About This Game

Inspired by RuneScape, Melvor Idle takes the core of what makes an adventure game so addictive and strips it down to its purest form! This is a feature-rich, idle/incremental game combining a distinctly familiar feel with a fresh gameplay experience. Maxing 20+ skills has never been more zen.

Quick honest review before I get into the main reason I wrote this: This game is fun. It's an idle game. It's like runescape in conceptual design. If those two descriptions sound appealing to you, consider buying it. [hr][/hr] Now for what I came here to say... There is a malicious and intentionally dishonest review about this game claiming it plans to hack into webcams and install spyware, among other ridiculous accusations. I hate to waste a review to debunk this, but it seems far too many people are taking it seriously. The reviewer in question is a habitual troll. Several of his reviews on Steam have been blocked and banned by them for reasons one can only imagine. (Note, that reviewer is also deleting any comments that prove his claims wrong.) Regarding his accusations against this game: completely ridiculous. The EULA for this game is fairly standard. Go read the EULA for any other game you own and chances are they'll be very similar. The EULA is public ( https://store.steampowered.com//eula/1267910_eula_0 ). There is nothing in there about installing spyware -- which, by the way, is illegal. What company is going to claim they plan to do that? And if it's not claimed in the EULA, why would the reviewer in question claim it? I'll leave it to your intelligent observations to figure that one out. There's nothing in there about hacking into webcams -- which, by the way, is illegal. There's nothing about selling your location data or other personal information. And the information about "3rd party software" does not mean what some people think -- they're programming libraries (resources that developers use to make accomplishing certain tasks easier). There's nothing malicious in there, despite persistent claims otherwise. But there are people claiming all of these and worse are going to happen. Why? I'll leave it to your intelligent observations to figure that one out as well. Don't fall for the negative drama. There's nothing shady going on. It's just a licensing agreement. Every program you own has one.

It's like RuneScape except you don't have to play it, so essentially the ideal RuneScape experience.

You ever wanna play RuneScape but then remember you would have to play RuneScape? Melvor is all the RuneScape without the RuneScape.
