Idlewood Outpost
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Cute pixel heroes that live on your desktop while you get on with your day.
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 micromanagement, 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 sort, gear to equip, and new heroes to unlock. There’s no penalties or stress - but you can swoop in at any point and spend some time optimising equipment so that your Rogue gets braver and your Knight faster - or rather the other way around?
Desktop Companions with Personality These aren’t just idle units — they’re tiny pixel people with thoughts, quirks, and the occasional banter. They might chat about the monsters they’re fighting, celebrate a level-up, or just complain that their boots are wet.
A Growing World In Progress This is an evolving game. Planned updates include more unique heroes, mounts to ride, and personal housing you can decorate to make their little corner of the world even cozier.
