Idle Pact vs The Icarus Protocol

Ancient seeds. Secret rituals. Something stirs beneath the stone... An incremental occult gardening simulator with light puzzles. Grow increasingly slow plants while uncovering how to speed things up.

Aether-Gen is under a Level 5 quarantine. The facility is sealed, the AI has taken control, and Kael Maren—the only specialist left inside—is waiting for your signal. In The Icarus Protocol, you are the specialized response handler tasked with guiding Kael to safety. Through a high-stakes terminal interface, every command you send and every choice you make will determine if Kael lives to see the extraction team—or becomes another casualty of the facility. Key Features: Trust and Health Mechanics: You begin with 50 Trust and 100 Health. Every decision impacts these vitals; pushing Kael too hard or losing his confidence will lead to a permanent "System Death". Branching Narrative: Navigate a complex node graph where your choices create unique paths. Will you search for manual releases, risk the hazardous chemical spills, or cut through the dangerous laser labs?. The Sub-Net: Gain access to the facility's internal servers. Read through 10 private staff emails and decrypt 5 restricted files to piece together the dark history of the program. Uncover the Truth: Solve puzzles to unlock the ARCHIVE and discover the horrific reality behind Subject Zero and the true nature of the Icarus Protocol. Real-Time Suspense: Experience the tension of the descent with system gates and timed events that keep you on the edge of your seat. Will you be the lifeline Kael needs, or will the ARCHIVE rewrite your memory too?
