## What is Idle Nebula Drift?

Out past the Carina Veil, a little observatory drifts through the dark. It's yours. And as long as its gardens keep glowing, the light holds.

Idle Nebula Drift is a cosmic idle game that moves with your real day. When the sun's up where you are, your world runs on solar light. When it sets, everything turns lunar, and the Void leans in a little closer. You're always growing something, and always holding something back. The cycle just changes the shape of the day. All of it keeps ticking while you're gone, so there's always something waiting when you come home.

THE GARDEN
Plant living starlight across your beds. Solar blooms while the sun is up, lumen blooms once it sets, each one growing into the fuel your wardens run on. The garden doesn't stop when you close the app, so come back to a harvest.

THE WATCH
Your wardens keep an endless patrol against the swarm pouring out of the Void. The fighting runs on its own, climbing sector after sector and banking what it earns, day and night, no babysitting. Sooner or later you hit a wall too big to push through. That's the whole point.

FALL BACK, CLIMB HIGHER
Let a run go, bank it into Stellar Ash, and start again stronger. Nothing is capped, so every reset makes the next climb faster and pushes the wall a little further out. It's the idle treadmill done right: progress you can feel, not a grind you resent.

YOUR WARDENS
Gather a crew with real character. The steady Sentinel who just won't fall. The Arcwright who hits like a collapsing star. The Void Scout out hunting crests. Rank them up on what your garden grows and build a line that plays the way you do.

THE WEEKLY CLIMB
Take your deepest run public. Every week the leaderboard resets and players push for the top. Pick a name, plant your flag, and see how your little patch of light stacks up against the rest of the galaxy.

HOW IT PLAYS
All of it is free. No sign-up, no wall at the door, you're in within seconds. Your save lives in the cloud so it stays safe, and if
you ever want it on a new phone, just add an email. Ads only show up when you ask for one, for a reward, never in the middle of anything. If you want to move faster there are gems, passes, and warden packs, but they're yours to ignore.

A quiet, endless climb that respects your time and your attention. Tend the light. Hold the line. Drift on.
