IDLE GAME MEETS DECKBUILDER THE FIRST MILLION takes the endlessly satisfying feeling of making numbers go up from idle games and fuses it with the strategic depth and replayability of roguelike deckbuilders. THE FIRST MILLION IS THE HARDEST As they say, THE FIRST MILLION is the hardest — you cannot win this game on the first try. But you will get closer with every try as you constantly unlock new cards and upgrades and discover one game-breaking strategy after another. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX THE FIRST MILLION keeps you thinking outside the box and playing the game in different ways with dozens of diverse challenges, which you will need to complete to unlock the best cards and upgrades. PUT IN THE WORK If you're familiar with deckbuilders, you might beat the first difficulty level in a couple of hours. To complete all difficulties and challenges, you will need at least 15-20 hours. And you can endlessly enjoy a daily mode where you compete with other players to see who can make the most money with a fixed set of cards every day.

Order Automatica is a dark tactical roguelite where automated battles are won before they even begin. Build deadly synergies on a small 3x3 ritual grid, position your units carefully, manipulate tiles, and prepare for brutal encounters against demonic enemies. Every move matters. What looks simple quickly becomes a deep game of: - positioning, - timing, - unit merging, - tile effects, - relic combinations, - curses, - and run-breaking synergies. Enemies attack automatically, but victory depends entirely on your planning. One clever setup can trigger devastating chain reactions. One mistake can end an entire run. Experiment with wildly different builds, adapt to unpredictable encounters, and discover strategies that completely change how the game is played. A small board. Endless possibilities. Like chess with demons.
