Launches 2 November 2026 · PC

Story
The Background Warrior is an Idle game that lives at the bottom of your screen. It runs in the background whether you are working, watching a show or completing any other task! How it works Increase the Warrior strength to advance through stages full of monsters and reach the final map. Did you fail? Worry not, the Warrior never actually dies; he grows stronger with each enemy defeated. Gain experience, level up, and spend points on your abilities, and then, try again! Another way to help the Warrior is to switch Job. There are 8 more jobs to unlock: mine, fish, farm and more! Every Job has its own abilities. Playing will reward you with experience to increase them and become more powerful, more efficient, even luckier! It all depends on the Job you are doing. Unlock the Warrior full potential by mastering each one of them and unleash the chaos. RPG features Quests, inventory and a shop are also available, all accessible through a non-invasive user interface on the right side of the screen. Killing monsters might drop cards, and every map has its own set of cards. Collect them all to unveil the story of the Warrior's world (and maybe something else)! Do you just feel...
