Cute pixel heroes that live on your desktop.

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 punishment, 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 are no penalties or stress — but you can swoop in at any point and spend some time optimizing equipment so that your Rogue gets braver and your Knight faster... or was it 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 for the full game include:

• More heroes (definitely)

• More mounts (definitely)

• Personal housing you can decorate (maybe)

• New biomes for new outposts (probably)

• You let us know what else you want to see!
