“A great game if you want to play smth in the background. Also like a trillion choices”
“This Idle game is pretty good if you want a game to play for a short time, unfortunately you can't idle offline efficiently, but other than that its pretty good.”
“This is not a IDLE game at the begining, more of a puzzle text adventure game with minor IDLE mechanic for time wasting. After the 3rd ending the waiting time could go for hours to days. While I did have fun playing…”

“I've been playing this for years, as you can see by my hours. I even spent some money to buy a supporter booster. The story of Your Chronicle is probably the best of any idler on the market. And that's the problem I'm…”
“i like this game because it almost feels like reading a book in game format.”
“Addictive, but very grindy. By grindy i mean - grind the grind. It was okay until you approach any quest with statue, or "give me 10 of those and your 5k destiny" dialogue each. Game's financial costs becoming way too…”

“After finishing NGU Idle I ended up playing this game. The progression and phasing is quite similar (the first 100h could feel a bit slower in comparison to the later hours, but that's kinda just this genre). This might…”
“A good game to have in the background and slowly learning more with each reincarnation means there's always something new to learn.”
“Your Chronicle is simple in its approach to players yet intricate once one dives into it completely. It has been a long time since I have played a game like this, and despite that, I find myself playing over and over…”

“For a text based idle game, downloaded it 60 hours ago, haven't closed it since lol Slightly addicting.”
“If you like text based, idler games than this would be perfect for you. There's a lot of content, and the game itself is pretty well made. However, it is practically just grinding and waiting. At the time of writing…”
“Good but grindy and not always clear. There's a LOT to do and I've only barely scratched the surface if the story flowchart is any indication. And yet I've apparently let it run for 687 hours. Sometimes it's not super…”

“You'd probably get more fun out of NGU Idle than this. This is a very micromanagement heavy game, where Routines do allow you to leave the game on and optimal Dark Rituals usually have you resetting your rank every day…”
“Not worth the wait and grind.”

“Love the game. Even works on my toaster of a laptop. Once you figure out how it works, it gets really fun. Nice story, even though it's probably nothing for people wanting fast-paced games. It needs a lot of…”

“Pros ... Cons 1. Poorly set up. Conversations i tool tips? Really?!? Vague explanations as to why you do anyting. Or how? How is one of those things you DON'T get to be vague about. 2. Yawn. I've played games not…”

“Definitely not for everyone, but it has its own charm. Highly recommend trying it out to see if you are one of those that fall for its simplicity. Everything in this game has its own pace, no trying to break anything with some exponential multiplier, just straight forward linear…”

— a player, Steam review · 101 hrs played“Poorly designed balance between player input and idle mechanics.... things take forever which should encourage you to play the game idle, but then you are also required to continuously supply input to keep things from stalling out. Overall the game needs to pick a lane, either…”
