About
IDLE_DIRECTIVE is a grid-based inventory and resource management idle game. Idly gather and manage resources to repair what's left of a decaying world. Scavenge forgotten ruins, meet scattered survivors, and push back against the inevitable collapse.
Balance limited inventory space by being strategic with your items and equipment! Available items include:
Utility items that aid you in your mission
Automation items that automate gameplay
Storage containers to expand your limited inventory
Resource producers
Manually, or idly gather various resource types to upgrade and improve yourself!
Explore a dying world filled with hidden points of interest (POIs). While many locations offer loot and resources, critical infrastructure that require repair is your prime directive and should be sought out.
The world is not lifeless, pockets of life still exist. Trade resources or aid survivors to build up your reputation, unlocking unique and powerful items or equipment in return.
RESET SYSTEM and gain powerful augment points that you can use to unlock powerful permanent upgrades to aid you in your directive. IDLE_DIRECTIVE features crafting, trade, and NPC tasks that are unlocked later on through Augmentation!

5$ game with at least 5 hours of play if you play actively, if you play it as an incremental it will last you even longer. scratches those late 90's games itch. totally worth. 9/10
I absolutely love this game! it's so fun having a game with chill music and an addictive gameplay I just can't stop playing it or watching videos about it! I would love to see more varieties of power and harvesting machines, and the possibility for more body upgrades. Keep up the amazing work!

Vraiment bon petit jeu mais vraiment pas trop idle lol. J'y ai jouer beaucoup plus d'heure avant de l'acheter.
I'm just don't understand why so much negative reviews
A surprisingly fun game, I wasn't expecting as much enjoyment as I did. For medium-higher end pc's its a neat little game to have running in the back when playing something else, or to just play standalone. This is something I'd recommend to anyone wanting to play a fun incremental game. Although its very fun, near the end of the game it shifts from tasks, trading, and exploring, to waiting for time locks to progress to the next area. all around a fun game, but it definitely will take a while to finish.

found on itch.io and really enjoyed the game
Cool iterative game. Not too idle for a lot of it, but you can get resources idly later in the game. Well worth the fiver I paid.
Bought it a couple of days ago, have played it constantly since. 95% of this has been actively playing, although you could also play it where you let it sit for an hour or two now and then. Not for the impatient or those who don't like grind.
satisfies inventory tetris desire + numbers game desire + cyberpunk desire + has a lot of content, four hours in and there is a lot more.
