Kill the Lich is a minimalist incremental game centered on routing your primary resource, Momentum, through an expanding network of unlockable actions to eventually defeat the Lich. You'll design automation chains, study transparent formulas, and trigger prestige resets to progress through layers of depth. Best suited for players who enjoy spreadsheet-like optimization and don't mind a learning curve before settling into a second-monitor idle experience.
About this game
Kill the Lich is a minimalist incremental game about time compression and resource flow. Route your primary resource—Momentum—downstream to unlock over 300 actions. Design granular automation, visualize exposed formulas, and trigger deep prestige layers to ultimately defeat the Lich!

Fun idle game with a lot of content and time, new p2w coins on the steam version don't look like they punish players who opt out (the base version never had them, just speeds things up I guess).
I'm hoping more story is written and updated in the future as that part is especially cool and interesting!
Can be confusing to start with, but the gist is to just open up the "flow pipes" to fill the segments with momentum and let it absorb, to unlock more segments to send more momentum, and repeat. Once you made your first prestige and unlock automation, the game is for the most part pure idle 2nd monitor kind of game until when you need to unlock new actions manually.
That being said I do remember about the plans of releasing the game on Steam being a PAID game, but the devs seemingly changed their minds about it; not that you need to spend money to progress anyway.
It's an okay game. It kinda sells the illusion of a super complex idle game with it's graph-like presentation, and it's can be disappointing from both sides that it's apparently not that complex or somehow too complex all at once.
* Reverted game timing back a week, as that had less issues * Instant Bonus Time conversion takes whole minutes (existing savefiles rounded up to the nearest minute) * Fixed growing arcana numbers with a specific genesis upgrade
