About This Game

《Waiting for an Egg》

"Waiting for an Egg" is a pixel-art "grinding" idle game, dedicated to all who are waiting patiently.

This isn't just a game; it's a companion. Here, your "focus" and "patience" are the most valuable resources. Welcome to your "Inspiration Farm," where you will raise a flock of magical chicken breeds (like the "Mandi Chicken" or the "Elsevier Chicken") that feed on your "focus time."

The chickens will automatically enter a long "egg review cycle" to "grind" for inspiration. If you're lucky enough, they will produce a precious "Inspiration Egg." Click the egg to harvest your "Funding," but be warned—each chicken has limited "inspiration" and will eventually "retire."

Core Features

  • Explore Mysterious Breeds Collect 8 unique "chicken breeds," each with a vastly different "incubation period" and "success rate." Will you choose the "fast but common" chicken, or the one that takes "slow work for a top-tier" egg? Your strategy matters.

  • 5-Tier Result Grading Inspiration Eggs are graded into 5 rarities, from "Common" (Q4) to "Top-Tier" (TOP), with vastly different values. Whether your farm is lucky or not? It's all up to RNG.

  • Expand Your Coop Start with a capacity of only 3 chickens. Step by step, expand your coop and eventually achieve "inspiration" mass production!

  • Built-in "Focus Clock" This isn't just an idle game! Use the built-in "Chicky Clock" (Pomodoro Timer) to manage your real-world time. Completing a focus session not only boosts efficiency but also grants extra "Funding" rewards—this is the only active way to earn Funding.

  • Inspiration Toolkit The game features an integrated "AI Helper" to help you brainstorm and draggable, saveable "Sticky Notes" to capture your to-do lists or sudden ideas.

  • Build Your Farm Use your "Funding" to buy over 20 decorative items like the "Cozy Cabin," "Wisdom Tree," and "Goddess of Luck." You can freely zoom and pan your farm to create a one-of-a-kind idle desktop.

This is a game about "patience" and "output." Just let it idle. Good luck, and may your 'publications' come soon!

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This game includes an optional helper feature powered by third-party AI services (Kimi and Zhipu AI).

In the game, you can click the 'Chat' button to talk with our cute AI partner, 'ZhiZhi' the chicken. 'ZhiZhi' is designed to be a friendly academic companion, available to help you brainstorm ideas, answer research questions, or provide stress relief.

This feature only generates plain text, does not affect the core idle and collection gameplay, and is provided for free.
