About the Game

Cute pixel heroes that live on your desktop.

Idlewood Outpost is an idle desktop pet game where a band of pixel RPG heroes guard your taskbar, collect loot, and level up.

Idle by Design

Let the game run while you work, study, or doomscroll. Your heroes will patrol, battle, and level up all on their own — no punishment, no pressure.

Think of it as a tiny fantasy outpost existing quietly in the corner of your screen.

Optional Depth, Cozy Interactions

When you do feel like checking in, there’s loot to hoover up, artifacts to find, new heroes and mounts to unlock.

There are no penalties or stress — just the occasional dopamine rush when you find a rare artifact or level up a hero!

A Growing World In Progress

This is an evolving game. Planned updates include:

• More unique heroes

• More mounts, artifacts & monsters

• Personal housing you can decorate
