Idlepunk - Ghost Link

IDLEPUNK - Ghost Link

IDLEPUNK is a story-driven cyberpunk idle management RPG. Recruit and equip a crew of operatives, take on contracts across a hostile city, build your reputation, and uncover the stories behind the people working for you.

This demo offers an early look at the core loop: managing your roster, sending teams on missions, collecting rewards, and making strategic choices as your operation grows.

About Myself

Hello everyone!
I’m Lorenzo, a 28-year-old fan of cyberpunk, idle games, and management sims. In my free time, I decided to combine those interests into a small game project.

IDLEPUNK adapts personal stories I originally wrote for fun in 2024 into a story-focused idle management game. While the core loop is built around recruiting operatives, managing resources, and running contracts, my goal is to make the world and its characters the heart of the experience.

This demo currently includes a short tutorial and an early look at the gameplay systems. More quests are planned, but they are still being adapted and polished.

I’m sharing this mainly to gauge interest and collect feedback. I’d especially love to hear what feels fun, what feels off, and which mechanics or parts of the interface are unclear or confusing.

PS - About save data

I’m still unsure how itch.io handles browser local-storage saves. Everything should work but If you plan to return later, I recommend exporting your save and pasting it into a notepad and importing it back in case of wipe using the buttons at the bottom of the page.
