Chartward is an exploration-focused incremental game, and this browser demo covers the slums up to the first boss fight. The full game opens up the rest of the world.
Unlike most other incrementals, the game is more focused on exploration than on grinding. The concept is an open world where you constantly encounter new and varied challenges to overcome, and every challenge also comes with an upgrade to your character. The planned content of the game is around 150-200 unique zones, each one presenting its own unique challenge.
Chartward is in development with a Steam version on the wishlist, and the developer runs a Discord community for progress and discussion.
How to Play
Move through an open world of zones, each of which presents its own distinct challenge. Clear a challenge and you are rewarded with a character upgrade, so the run is about seeing as many new situations as you can and getting stronger with each one. The demo ends at the first boss fight; the full game opens up the rest of the world.
Controls

Tips & Tricks
This is an exploration incremental, not a grinding one — the goal is variety of zones, not one repeated loop.
Every challenge you clear comes with a character upgrade, so pushing into a new zone always nets you something.
The demo deliberately stops at the first boss fight; the full world opens up in the Steam version.
