Overview

Some games promise epic quests, deep stories, or complex systems. Waste Your Time promises none of that — and it's proud of it.

Released on October 16, 2026, by developer and publisher XejiksGG, this is a paid title that strips the medium down to its absolute core: a timer that runs. That's it.

No levels, no plot, no goal. The game's own description congratulates you on your purchase, noting that while your phone already has a free timer, it wasn't "packaged this beautifully." It's a deadpan, self-aware joke that sets the tone for the entire experience.

Highlights

  • Pure minimalism: The entire feature list is a timer that runs. There are no levels, no plot, and no objectives — just a clock ticking away on your screen.
  • Five stages: The developer guarantees you'll go through all five stages of... something. The description cuts off, but the implication is clear: this is a journey of acceptance, boredom, or perhaps existential reflection.
  • Casual, relaxing, and idle: Steam tags include Casual, Idler, Incremental, Minimalist, and Relaxing. It's a single-player experience with Steam Achievements, and it supports Camera Comfort and Color Alternatives for accessibility.

Who It's For

If you're a fan of idle games, minimalist art, or absurdist humor, Waste Your Time might be your cup of tea. It's for anyone who wants to watch a timer run for ten seconds or ten years — the game is in no hurry, and neither should you be.

It's also for people who appreciate a good joke about the pointlessness of digital entertainment. If you're looking for action or narrative, this isn't it.

But if you want a meditative, almost philosophical pause in your gaming routine, this could be a quirky addition to your library.
