what is Bitburner?

Bitburner is an incremental game where you write JavaScript scripts to automate tasks and solve puzzles.

In Bitburner, players program in JavaScript to automate gameplay, develop skills, engage in minigames, and solve various challenges. The game focuses on coding as its core mechanic within an incremental framework.

It sits in the Idle / Strategy / Narrative / Minimalist / Sci-Fi corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
