Focusing on automation and minimal player interaction, idle games let you watch progress unfold over time. Players often engage in occasional interactions like upgrades to influence growth rates or efficiencies, while the game typically accumulates resources autonomously.

A subgenre of the adventure game, point-and-click games typically involve interacting with background objects, talking to non-player characters, and using an item inventory to solve puzzles that allow the player to progress through the story.
