Simultree

I'm sorry, this game is genuinely boring. If the Witcher 3 costs less than 10 bucks on sale, this has no business costing 7 dollars. I want to like the game because of how pretty and style-y the game is, you can see the devs wanted to make something good. It's just the game-play itself that gets to me. Really boring and not very incremental, the upgrades are slow and you have to grind for them doing the exact same thing over and over with little change as you go.

A very fun and short incremental game. Great sound design (some great click noises in this), good UI design (though it is a bit wonky on ultrawide), and most importantly: some weird little flourishes. In this, it's the signature field, having to click the little button to save your points, the whiteboard and markers, there's so many! Those extra little superfluous touches are what makes these short experiences memorable. I can tell the dev had fun making it, so I have fun! Highly recommend.

This game has a lot of role-play elements just for fun that make this stand out in the sea of slopcremental games. The 5€ price point for a ~2h game is a bit steep, but overall I enjoyed this enough to recommend this anyway.

the endgame of having to modify parameters and juggle modifiers was pretty fun. this should have been the whole game from the start. also, the beginning is just terrible in other ways. why the stupid stamp? why press an extra button for upgrades? you can get rid of these hurdles, but theres literally no reason they should exist in the first place.

Довольно уютная и интересная игра (я минут 15 сидел рисовал)

Not quite done yet (maybe halfway?), but I get the gist. Simultree is one of those "session-based" incremental games. where you do a run, get the results, upgrade and repeat. These are a dime-a-dozen, and I'm usually hard on these games, but Simultree manages to stand apart well enough. For starters, Simultree encourages experimentation. It's the entire point and theme of the game, so messing with the various traits and their various values can create a lot of outcomes. It's not as simple as "buy the cheapest upgrade" over and over again (as happens for other games in this genre) The downsides happen when multiple traits stack and their effects on each other become harder to quantify. Especially when you have a bunch of sliders to adjust between iterations (which become tedious to do over and over) I also found myself ignoring the experiment goals in order to farm upgrades, since using the new non-upgraded traits for experiments was often detrimental to point gains. This meant that each experiment stage is followed by a lot of grinding until the new traits are reliably more profitable. I'm still plugging along, but it is getting a bit tedious at that point. Still, decent ideas. Cute execution. I don't hate it.

Interesting take on an incremental. Roughly 3 hours.
