Anubis Clicker

Anubis Clicker is a free-to-play relic with a sense of humor older than its Steam port. Voge_Games released it on Steam in December 2022 after originating in the browser era, and its store page threatens you directly: collect money and hire your workforce, they will protect you from being burned and cursed by Anubis, and, in the game's own words, click fast or you will die.

It feels like a Flash game that survived into the era of storefronts, complete with urgent clicking, low-fi presentation and a god who takes things personally.

What the loop feels like

Gold flows from your finger, the workforce automates what your wrist cannot sustain, and Anubis's curses keep a low hum of stakes under the counting. You hire, the gold-per-second climbs, and the afterlife's payroll grows. That's Anubis Clicker.

Then the curse pressure spikes, the workforce becomes your shield as much as your income, and the Ancient Egyptian theming starts feeling less like decoration and more like an employment contract. That's Anubis Clicker.

The systems doing the work

Gold generation and clicking form the foundation: manual clicks generate the initial gold, which transitions rapidly into automated income as the scaling curve takes over. The distinct piece is the Gold Maker workforce, a hiring system that replaces the genre's usual factories and farms with a payroll of named thematic labourers, Abah and Bilah among them, each adding to your gold-per-second while protecting you from the curses Anubis deals out.

Around that sit the quirks that give it personality: mini-games that supply targeted bursts of capital or resource multipliers, a dedicated feature for petting your workforce, and cloud-saving with periodic daily-style adjustments. Veteran advice is the genre standard with one twist: maximise early click upgrades so the exponential curve starts clean, calculate cost-to-GPS ratios rather than spreading purchases evenly across the roster, and do not ignore the mini-games, because their bursts bridge the gap between expensive workforce tiers.

Where it stumbles

The criticism is blunt and the community hub is candid about it. Quality of life is missing at the foundation: players report the lack of a proper save file system, forcing restarts from the beginning, and even missing basic window and minimise options. Depth is close to zero: it barely qualifies as a game by modern standards, an elementary click-to-make-numbers-go-up loop with no evolving strategic layers, and the death-by-god threat is flavour rather than mechanics. The edgy workforce framing also lands as tasteless rather than funny for many players. For mainstream idle fans the answer to "worth playing" is simply no; it survives as a meme-tier curiosity for hunters of obscure Steam artifacts.

Playing it today

Anubis Clicker is a free Windows release on Steam, published by Voge_Games, with no macOS, Linux or mobile version. For mythology-flavoured clicking with more depth, God Awe-full Clicker takes religion far more seriously, and Cookie Clicker remains the free-clicking standard.

The verdict

A free, funny, bare-bones Flash-era clicker with a god problem and an HR department. It is worth exactly the nothing it costs and the half hour it takes, which is a legitimate way for a game to exist. Click fast, hire faster, save early since the game will not do it for you, and enjoy the curses as atmosphere rather than mechanics.
