TIS strips away typical idle game progression to ask a deceptively simple question: how long can you maintain complete inaction. The entire experience is about doing nothing, making it either meditative or frustratingly boring depending on your tolerance for purposelessness. It's a conceptual piece that challenges conventional game design rather than a traditional incremental experience.

A masterwork. A piece of art. A unique.
The developer should be a prominent feature in sales and marketing textbooks.

DLC idea: a pop-up that asks the player "Are you still idle?" with a yes/no button, whit a timer!

True Idle Simulator 2

Hello Idlers, It's been almost one year since the game was released. We have never anticipated how popular this game would be. 400 people might not seem like much nowadays, but to us that is a number we never expected. It was done more like a meme than an actual product. Still, there were some issues that couldn't be fixed due to the way the game was made. https://steamcommunity.com/app/2091130/discussions/0/3825287950901663158/ In response to that and to build a little on the idea we have decided to do a proper sequel: True Idle Simulator 2 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42897160/e72d30dc86380f2e33976bf8aafb1aace4f56e51.png New stuff include: Separate time rankings (weekly, monthly, ...) Dark Theme {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42897160/d3d9e4547d6eac158a223f24c046e38763b31b5d.png Separate friend list {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42897160/75ffaf90be42847a8490e4f1c1b7010991ef8c07.png New achievements And for the most hardcore fans, a hardcore mode Also, internally it will be rebuilt from the ground up so we will have a lot more room for fixes and upgrades. More info will be on it's own Steam page when it releases. Please look forward to TIS2. Together we can make it the most played game by average time on steam. How funny would that be?
