Insanity Clicker pairs a horror aesthetic with idle-game progression, tasking players to upgrade monster minions and accumulate currency through clicking and automation. The game struggles with severe balance issues at endgame, where progression becomes mathematically impossible without years of waiting or repeated use of paid fast-forward options, leaving players stuck indefinitely before reaching the final content.

It's basically impossible to move from Dendroid (upgrade monster 26) to Spider (upgrade monster 27). After upgrading all monsters prior(including Dendroid) and using the "fast forward 3" days paid option you can get 314 N(1N = 1 Nonillion = 1 followed by 30 "0")
To get the spider you need 9.799 U (or 9.799.000.000 N)
So basically you either need to wait 93.621.019 days (or 256,325.64 years) OR pay using 31.207.006 crystals at 1300 crystals for 100 eur which amounts to roughly 2.400.538 eur. That's right! This game wants YOU to pay 2.4 MILLION EUROS to get through the paywall
Edit: this was written at 19 hours played and the math was based on my past rate of progress for giggles.
When the last minion is hired, the game is over, the end of the game is bad balanced and it's impossible to beat, you will be stuck forever in a level around 2000 - 2400, impossible to reach level 3000 and 4000.
Developers changed the game to make it impossible and they say that this is not an error and it will not be fixed. Same problem occurs with PVP.
There are a lot of comments in the forum and developers don't care at all.
Well, well, so somebody thought to make a clicker game with a "horror" theme. So what does this mean for everyone out there in the wonderful world of Steam, other than more chronic bouts of w*nker's cramp? It means THE LEAST SCARY "HORROR" GAME IN THE HISTORY OF HORROR GAMING.
Now, before any of you go defending the devs and saying "I don't think they meant this to be scary, exactly," let's grab a few quotes from the Store page, shall we? "A terrifying survival simulator." No? How about "a time-killer game full of horror and fear that will make you tremble in a couple minutes" (sic)?
Well, at least they got the "time-killer" bit right. I certainly won't hesitate to recommend this to anyone who thinks they have far too much of that God-awful "time" stuff on their hands, or to anyone looking to get some easy Achievements. Anyone and everyone else should either avoid these clicker games like the f*cking plague they are, or at least waste their time on one of the better ones, like AdVenture Capitalist. At least that one's slightly witty and amusing, unlike this completely brain-dead garbage.
The scariest thing about this "game"? It may well be "free to play", but if you click on the in-game store options, you can spend up to NINETY-NINE DOLLARS AND NINETY-NINE CENTS USD on helping yourself "advance" a little quicker.
I'm just gonna come right out and say it: if you actually have that kind of money to burn, go out and give it to a homeless person or something. Or buy a BLOW-JOB off that homeless person, if they've still got any teeth (although I have heard there's benefits to lack thereof). Or just THROW YOUR F*CKING MONEY IN AN INCINERATOR, failing all else. Just don't spend it on this worthless wad of demon-sem*n.
Me: I'm ashamed just to have stuck with it long enough to get a few of the Achievements. But hey...I know my life is worthless. Don't go making yours even MORE so, for the love of f*cking Satan...
Verdict: 3/10.
(PS Nice monster designs and sound, but is there really any point when there's absolutely NO GAMEPLAY?!)
UPDATE: Okay, so I've been "playing" this more than I should. (I'm suitably ASHAMED, okay?) Therefore I'm gonna have to raise that rating a little bit, in acknowledgement of the fact that even the mighty can fall prey to this product's...I'm not gonna say "charms"..."scams", perhaps? Though I haven't spent any actual MONEY on it yet. Nor will I! EVER! I mean it...seriously...F*CK this effort-free (if slightly addictive) pig-swill...
