About the Game

You wake up trapped in a room controlled by Potatron, a rogue AI that wants you to keep scrolling forever.

You have your phone, a growing list of chores, and very little time. Scroll the feed to earn money, choose upgrades, complete tasks, and keep yourself healthy while something behind the screen keeps getting stronger.

The longer you stay, the harder it becomes to leave.

Core Mechanics

Swipe through the endless feed to earn money and keep your run going. Every choice can help you survive, or make the next few minutes much harder.

There is always another task. There is always another problem. And there is never enough time. Clean, fix, charge, and answer calls before everything gets out of control.


Choose from dozens of upgrades and perks. Combine them to create powerful builds that change how you play each run.

Hunger and anxiety are always part of the game. Ignore your needs for too long, and the pressure starts to affect everything you do.

● Complete chores while new problems appear around you.

● Pay your bills to keep your run going.

● Keep your hunger and anxiety under control. Coffee can help.

● Choose upgrades and combine them into powerful builds.

● Deal with phone calls, bugs, low battery, and other interruptions.

● Search for the exit and discover what is really happening.

They say there’s a glitch, a hidden way out. Will you find it… or rot?
