A free incremental RPG you can play entirely offline. No ads, no paywall, and every goal in the game is reachable without spending a cent. The world's eight elemental forces were once held apart. Now they are bleeding together, and everything is changing. You are a Cataloguer: a licensed scholar sent into the saturated zones to document what lives there. Encounter creatures, record them, and fill the Manifest, one species at a time. The more you catalogue, the more the world opens up, and the closer you come to the thing nobody wants to talk about: why everything is falling apart. If you've always wanted to play a uniquely idle monster collecting adventure with the patience of a nature documentary and the wit of a dungeon crawl, this is your chance. Explore portals, return to new species and new regions, and watch the Manifest fill in like a field journal. WHAT YOU'LL FIND • Over 4,000 creatures to find, fight, and catalogue. Each holds a small piece of the overall narrative. • Over 300 classes to equip and level up. Send your hero into elemental portals and take control as battles unfold. • Offline progression that unlocks early and never stops: your hero keeps earning and your disciples keep hunting while the app is closed. • Every portal is graded. The threat ratings are, unfortunately, accurate. • 16 narrators bring the world alive through their lost dossiers. Sixteen cataloguers came before you and its on you to find out why they stopped writing. • Deep progression: level classes, raise disciples, study at the university, upgrade your guild license, master insignias, power up skills, and more. • Rare enemy variants, an ever-expanding ladder of achievements, and Game Center leaderboards (purely optional). FAIR BY DESIGN The whole game is offline, free, and ad-free. The optional purchases are purely cosmetics that support a solo, part-time developer. I'm an incremental game fan who got bored waiting for the next one to drop. Made by one person as a part-time passion project. Thank you for giving it a shot!

The line fights on its own. You decide what gets stronger. IRONVOID is an idle RPG that plays out on a strip at the bottom of your screen. Your squad holds the right, enemies come from the left, and the shooting is automatic. You don't aim — you build. BUILD THE SQUAD Five distinct units, a party of three. Each has its own skill tree, its own gear, its own job. Marksman, guardian, medic — the formation is yours. LOOT, MERGE, UPGRADE Every drop is a decision. Fuse nine same-tier pieces in the Cube to force one tier up. Thousands of gear identities: no two pieces of the same tier are alike. STONES AND SOCKETS High-tier gear takes stones. The same stone behaves DIFFERENTLY in a weapon, in armor, and in support — where you set it is permanent. PROGRESS OFFLINE The line keeps fighting while the game is closed. Your patrol report is waiting when you return. AN HONEST ECONOMY No gacha. No paywall. Nothing you buy raises the power ceiling — every stage is beatable for free. The only thing sold is time and convenience.
