IdleBound is a dark fantasy idle RPG that layers multiple gathering and crafting skills—mining, fishing, woodcutting, forging—into a progression system spanning from a frontier settlement to a reality-warping endgame. The game rewards engagement both during active play and through offline advancement, letting you accumulate resources and unlock combat encounters at your own pace. It's best suited for players who enjoy economy-focused idle games with tangible skill leveling and a persistent sense of world expansion.

Idlers, greetings! I took a break from some bug fixes to focus on a little skill reworking, and a new event. This event is aimed around Spookytober (Halloween). It's not a huge event, but it sets the groundwork for later events when we're out of EA, and sets a precedence I'd like to keep, which is to offer everything I possibly can to the community so content is never thin and spread out. With that being said, here's a look at the update ahead of us as we go into v0.8.Hallowed EveOur first festival, October 18 to November 2Marigold Wick waits in Ashvale with her story and a quest, the Hollow King has been taking the souls of her people in Hollowmere, and you must find a way to release the imprisoned souls and put a stop to himCombatAdded an Ammo slot for arrowsNew spell: Water StrikeSpells, teleports and High Alchemy cost more runes as they were insanely inexpensive beforeFire, Chaos and Death Runes now can only be obtained by Runecrafting and monster lootThe Mire Hen, a new monster in ThornwoodFlickering on certain screen should now be fixedSkillsPrayer has been rebuilt, and now trains while you're away.The new Altar offers bones while you’re away.Added tiered bones and new relics, offering a variety of XPIncense gives more XP per offering.The Reliquary, from Father Aldous’s new quest.New Aim and Mind blessings which can be auto-renewed The Bone Market sells regular bones.New Elemental Rune: Water RunesNew Spell: Conjure WaterAlchemy potions now require a vial of waterArrows require feathers, bows require bowstrings, and artifice gear requires a large amount of crafting supplies.
