Kittens Game is a pay once, no ads or IAP game that has me hooked right now.
Active subreddit (/r/kittensgame).
Deep strategic resource planning that can take months to play out.
Fun concept.
Cool game mechanics that continue to unfold just when you think you've reached "the end."
It is an incremental idle game (not a clicker really). However the way it abstracts away certain concepts once you've progressed enough, and turns them into resources or components needed to make it to the next stage is really engaging. I reached a point on my first play through where I was like "oh, ok, not really sure what else there is to do, I guess I beat the game?" Then went Googling and realized I was still in what is referred to as "the early game." I'm now approaching the "late game" stage, but still have a ways to go and several resets before i'm there.
The resets are a core mechanic btw, and while a bit of a headache for me personally, each time you do it you speed things up significantly such that something that took me months to achieve before is unlocked in a matter of minutes.
