Universal Paperclips follows a simular pattern. Pretty fun. You start with making single paperclips, discover automation and way to much time later you're leaving the SkyNet scenario far behind.

This is an amazing classic which basically created the genre. It goes incredibly deep. And when you think it can’t go deeper, it still does: http://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes this too :)

I was about to ask the same thing! I'm hoping someone can come along with suggestions. I know of other text adventure games if you want something like that. But I kinda wanted something like this that I just click through.

If you want a game where you type out what to do maybe check out Zork, or the Dreamhold or Night House.

There's an old IF (text adventure) called Bad Machine.

The most similar would be Endgame: Singularity http://www.emhsoft.com/singularity/

This is very much influenced by a few 'incremental games', specifically Candy Box, Candy Box 2, Paperclip game, and Mine Defense
