Finally some innovation in the desktop idle space. So far all games in this genre have been your typical idle collectathon experience. This game stands out with its design - multiple games with unexpected connections between them that you figure out over time. This caught me off guard and made it much more engaging once I understood its premise.
A seriously unique desktop idle game. I loved the connections between the channels and I especially liked that some of them were instant and some took more time to connect. And the theme is on point! Very entertaining and a happy escape!
It's like an idle clicker with little surprises. Without spoiling too much, I was really happy to get full fledged episodes to watch to make it feel like a real crtv experience. I don't think you can turn off just the music though without it muting everything together. But still cool concept and I wish it had more involved, definitely worth the price.
