Desktopia lets you build and manage a medieval village that runs passively along your desktop while you work on other tasks. The game features pixel art aesthetics and procedural events like fires and wildlife encounters, though its progression systems feel thin and development appears incomplete. Best suited for players seeking ambient, low-engagement city-building rather than those expecting depth comparable to traditional idle games.
About this game
Desktopia is a city-builder game which simulates an evolving, medieval-esque village along the bottom of your desktop, allowing you to work, watch, or browse something else while you play.

I idled for a few minutes with the sound off and when I came back my village was on fire and there were what appeared to be some kind of deer terrorizing my residents. Did the deer start the fire? I can't say for sure, but signs point to yes.
In seriousness, the game is neat. It feels like an idle game so far, but with the kind of pixel art I love. It has potential, and I hope a lot more is added to it!
i "played" a lot of different idle games so i was looking forward to this one
well.... is it bad ? no is it worth the money? definitly not
there`s not much of a game there (sure it s an idle game) but even for those there s not much of a game there. also it feels like the dev ran out of ideas quite quickly. the first few "tech" levels feel nice and organic, but after 4 or 5 it s extremly rushed and quickly repetetive and uninspired. first a couple of medievil stuff quickly jumping to cyber tech? really?
in short a neat idea, but not worth the price at all (sadly)
I can't imagine who would release an Idle game in 2022 without an autosave feature? Played for 2 hours (and mostly played, because this isn't a very "idle" game) only to open it up the next day and find all my progress lost. No warnings about saving before closing, nothing. Progress is gone because you didn't think to manually save the game. Absolutely ridiculous for a game released in 2022.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2390060/dEscape/ We, The Evergloom Team, are super pleased to show off the new trailer and Store Page for Desktopia's sister game 'dEskape' - Can you escape the deadly and dank planet from which you've crashed into? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42486639/7e750dfe29cb057d97d9ba9eb2b8a82114c065e3.gif From the team that made Desktopia comes 'dEscape': a new world to build, manage, and defend at the bottom of your desktop! At its core, 'dEscape' is a base-building game which sits across the bottom of your desktop allowing you to work, browse, or watch something else while you play. It's idle when you like and active when you want. Like any base-builder, you get to make the big decisions while taking control of your own laser shooting, resource-collecting character whose only objective is repairing their broken ship and getting off the dark and dreary rock onto which they've crashed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42486639/e88ca5f99ca7a9168ed10c8824144c74baf94692.gif THE GAME From nothing but the ruins of your ship: construct the infrastructure to escape the planet and build a truly massive base. Construct a range of facilities (factories, research labs, alien technology, mystical crops) and watch as storage creatures and aliens take up residence around your base. Wander away from the safety of your base to find resources and crashed resource pods. Research strange creatures and use them to create new and powerful resources. Construct droids, level them up, give them new skills, and take them out into the dark to collect resources, and destroy the dangerous blood hives that are attracted to your industry. Research new weapon types, and wield them against the dark creatures which try to steal your light. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2390060/dEscape/
