About the Game

Idle Times is a thoughtful desktop companion where Bob quietly files a growing shelf of original illustrated cartoons.

KEEP BOB COMPANY

Set Bob beside your day in a Full Desk, always-on-top Mini Companion, or movable Pet Desk. Help Bob whenever you want a small interaction, or let Autopress keep his work moving while a desk is visible. Bob pauses when hidden, so each cartoon is earned while you keep him company.

FILE A GROWING CARTOON SHELF

Start with 63 original illustrated cartoon rewards at launch. Newly filed cartoons land in the Comic Shelf, where you can browse your collection and open crisp local art in a full-size lightbox. Source essays are optional in-game reading.

A NEW EDITION EACH WEEK

New free editions are added weekly. Your current queue and filed shelf remain yours as Bob's collection grows.
