Yeah, I know. You either study or play, I agree. For this reason I’d like to find a game that I can check twice every hour, that just keeps going in the meantime.
This is because I hate studying, I’m very bad at it and I don’t really get a feeling of progession and accomplishment while doing so. I’d like to trick my brain into getting those feelings, even if it’s for the wrong reason (it should work).
About the game, I’d like for it to be a game I can actually play from time to time, which is why I don’t think autoclickers will do the trick for me (but I’m open to try). I was thinking about Minecraft prison servers, where you had to grind to get materials and then sell them, or some kind of sandbox RPG where I can autofarm endlessly.

Try out some incremental games! Some good popular games in the genre are Cookie Clicker, Realm Grinder, Antimatter Dimensions (and its mods), and there’s a whole world of little niche incremental games out there waiting to be discovered.
Thank you!
A little late to the party, maybe you’ve found your game already and I’m not sure if this is what you search for, but what I did, while writing my master’s thesis, was playing Stardew Valley.
It’s cozy for the most part. The game auto saves after you finish an ingame day (it saves when you wake up the next morning if I remember correctly). Days were for me roughly 15-25 minutes, depending on how far I was in the game.
So what I did was play a day in Stardew Valley, then write my thesis for a while, play another day, write my thesis, play two days, write my thesis and so on. (I admit, there were days where I played more, but hey, I finished my thesis!)
Good luck with your studies!
Hey, thank you for sharing! Unfortunately this never worked for me, I just kept thinking of the game even aftee the breaks. I’m hopeless lol
Don’t beat yourself up! You just haven’t found the best way for you. You will find it, I’m sure!
Thank you! I appreciate it
Rimworld, at the later hours of a colony, becomes more of an idling game. Mods make it even more so by making your pawns and defenses insanely overpowered. My late game colonies usually have 5-10 brawlers that absolutely shred everything.
I’ve heard of it, thank you

If you want to ruin your life, there’s always Eve Online. There’s lots to do when checking it infrequently (mining, selling/buying stuff, etc.). You can then play actively for PVE content and PVP.
Factorio would be perfect to let it play itself after you are far enough into the game. Play on peaceful mode so that you don’t have the enemies destroying your buildings
I wouldn’t recommend this game for studying. It has a tendency to hook you (in a good way). There’s a reason why people sometimes call it Cracktorio.
I would check out r/incremental_games for games like that. We’re starting a community for it here on lenny [email protected].
I’d love to join that community but tapping the link on my phone just takes me to the lemmy.ml homepage.
on vlemmy.net, put https://lemmy.ml/c/incrementalgames in the search bar (i usually have to click the next button for it to show up) then you can subscribe.
A bit late, but hypixel skyblock may fit (it’s a minecraft mmo based on 1.8.9) which has many idle game components and many ways to play while active
I’ll try it for sure!
