what is The Mana Tree?

An incremental game inspired by cultivation novels featuring upgrades and pop-culture references.

This simple mod draws from eastern and western cultivation and xianxia themes. It offers numerous upgrades and includes two pop-culture nods while exploring layered gameplay mechanics that avoid exponential growth.

It sits in the Prestige / 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.
