About the Game

Every Legend Starts as Dust.

Lint is a minimalist idle experience where the smallest things become the biggest obsession.

Leave the game running.

Watch lint accumulate.

Turn fluff into fortune.

What starts as harmless dust quickly becomes a strategic balancing act of upgrades, efficiency, and progression. The longer you stay, the more lint you earn — and the deeper the system unfolds.

The More You Wait, The More You Gain

Lint rewards patience. Keep it open while you work, study, or game. Come back to growing piles of fluff ready to be reinvested.

It’s oddly relaxing.
It’s slightly ridiculous.
It’s surprisingly addictive.
