The Game at a Glance

What is Deskrawl?

Deskrawl: Idle ARPG is an indie idle action role-playing game developed by First Day Games and published alongside Gamersky Games. Built to run as a horizontal overlay along the bottom of your Windows desktop, it lets you level heroes, choose talents, and conquer bosses while working or browsing.

During a run, your hero auto-moves through stages, attacks enemies to generate resources, and triggers skills on cooldown. An accompanying minion pulls a carriage to collect loot and ores, while gold is spent in town to unlock vendors, upgrade gear, and purchase life skill automation.
