What is Kill the Lich Idle?

This free-to-play, text-based incremental game centers on preparing to fight a lich. You divide automatically generated Momentum between connected actions, unlock new nodes, and gain attributes that lower other actions' requirements. Resetting sends you into automated battles against the lich's forces, earning resources for upgrades that speed up later loops.
