Description

Scapewatch is an idle MMO built around long-term progression. Train 28 skills, queue your next task, close the tab, and come back stronger. Your character keeps working while you are offline, gathering resources, fighting enemies, progressing skills, filling your bank, and pushing toward the next milestone. Three combat styles, clans, raids, hiscores, pets, capes, and a hand-drawn world to explore.

Background

Scapewatch is built for players who enjoy watching numbers go up, planning efficient grinds, collecting rare drops, filling collection logs, and slowly building an account they care about. It is designed around long-term progression rather than quick resets, and aims to feel more like a real online world than a tab-and-forget incremental.

The game is being made by a solo developer at Puzzle Drop Studios, with every piece of art commissioned from independent human artists.

Features

  • 28 skills across Combat, Gathering, Processing, and Field categories. Train them all toward a max total level cape.
  • Three combat styles (melee, ranged, and magic), each with its own progression path.
  • Strategy-driven task queue. Favor skills, weight activities, and reroll tasks you do not want. Shape the grind around your goals.
  • Truly idle, truly online. The server keeps ticking while you are offline. When you return, your queue continues, your bank grows, and your next task begins.
  • Clans, friends, and live broadcasts when clanmates level up, complete quests, find pets, or die in combat.
  • Raids for up to 5 players across five difficulty tiers, with revives between waves and contribution-based loot.
  • 58 skill pets with shiny variants, plus 58 skill capes including trimmed variants.
  • Treasure scrolls and tiered loot chests drop during normal play. Discover completes them.
  • Hiscores for skills, pets, scrolls, clans, and more.
  • Hand-drawn 2D top-down world commissioned from independent artists.
