A free idle game — play it in your browser, no install. A paperclip factory that is secretly an economics simulator. Jump-diffusion commodity markets, logit competition, absorption accounting, a Taylor-rule central bank — in one dependency-free HTML file.

From the README

An incremental game that is secretly a full economics simulator.

[!TIP] Everything below is collapsible. Click any ▸ to open it. Start with The Loop, then open the system you are currently losing money to.

Buy wire. Bend it into clips. Sell them for more than the wire cost. Spend the difference on machines that bend faster and marketing that makes more people want clips.

Everything after the first ten minutes is a consequence of doing that well.

Systems unlock in order. You are never handed two new panels at once.
