What is RuneClick?

RuneClick is a desktop overlay RPG that turns your daily computer use into character progression. A pixel art medieval character lives on your screen and reacts to your real keyboard and mouse input. Type an email, he chops a tree. Click through a spreadsheet, he mines ore. Close your laptop, he does nothing. Every keystroke is progress. Every click counts.

The Grind is Real

Six skills. Three gathering, three production. Everything connects. Woodcutting fuels Smithing and Crafting. Fishing feeds Cooking. Mining supplies the whole chain. You gather raw materials, turn them into gear and food, sell what you don't need, and work toward what you do. Level cap is 99 per skill. XP keeps counting after that. Maxing out takes months of real use. That's by design.

Gear Up

Craft tools that make you gather faster. Cook food that boosts your XP. Cut gems into jewelry with passive bonuses. Five tiers of progression across every gathering skill, with extremely rare variants at the top that you'll be chasing for a long time. Every upgrade is something you built from materials you earned.

It Lives on Your Desktop

RuneClick isn't a window you switch to. It's a transparent overlay that sits on top of your taskbar while you work, browse, or play other games. Click through it. Drag it anywhere. Scale it up or down. It launches with Windows, saves automatically, and never steals focus. It's a companion, not a distraction.
