About this game
Play the demo now!
LORED is an idle-incremental game about collecting as many resources as possible, including Iron, Copper, and... Malignancy?! Set your stickfigure LOREDs to work, buy them plenty of Upgrades, and ensure they don't run out of fuel!
There are four tiers--or Stages--of Upgrades and LOREDs! The most powerful Upgrades consume your current host, requiring a prestige.
Leveling up a LORED doubles their Output, but also their Input! Play carefully!
Each of the 63 LOREDs have their own unique animations!
LOREDs will think out loud and may reply to each other!
Talk to LOREDs in-between managing resources!
LORED was first released in 2019, and has been receiving constant development ever since. Since the last public update, LORED has been re-built from the ground up with all new Upgrade Trees and mechanics!
