what is Nodeborne?

An early alpha terminal-based idle game focused on generating cycles and exploring a network with minimal UI.

Nodeborne is a very early alpha prototype where players generate cycles and navigate a small network using terminal commands. Feedback on the interface is encouraged as development continues.

It sits in the Idle / Numbers / Minimalist / Prototype 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.
