Inbox Zero

Every email you answer creates more email.

Inbox Zero is a short, text-only incremental game about the inbox that never ends. You start with 12 unread emails and a Reply button. Reach inbox zero and you get promoted. Get promoted and the volume goes up.

THE NUMBER YOU WATCH

Every email you handle brings back k new ones: replies, follow-ups, someone replying all. That's your reply ratio. Keep it below 1 and inbox zero is in reach. Push it above 1 and the pile grows forever.
The catch: every efficiency upgrade makes you faster and raises k.

THE OFFICE YOU ALREADY WORK IN

• There is a yoghurt in the fridge dated March. It has developed opinions.
• "FYI. No action needed. Please confirm you have received this."

FASTEST RUN: 18 MIN 32 SEC. Most people take an hour or so, and it's worth taking your time.
• About 1 to 1.5 hours to the ending
• Autosaves in your browser. Mail keeps arriving while you're away (up to 1 hour)
