A slow game (or is someone has a better name please do tell!) is a multiplayer game where you get some action points every day (or twice a day), that you spend on walking around and usually fighting monsters a la CRPG.

Played in a browser those games took like 5 minutes a day to play and were quite popular in the early 2000. Obviously people spent more time setting up groups going hunting or fulfilling some quest, often for weeks and weeks…

Have you played one of would you try one out?

    That’s why I don’t ever play MMORPGs or multiplayer games of that type. There’s slow and then there’s agonizing slow to where it is insulting my time and no game like that should ever be made.

    I’ve started a new game on Stardew Valley and that’s at a moderate pace. I’m using a cheat to control the time so I can do everything I’d like to do in a day, then resume and move on to the next day.
