What is RuneClick?
RuneClick is a desktop overlay RPG that turns your daily computer use into character progression. A pixel art medieval character lives on your screen and reacts to your real keyboard and mouse input. Type an email, he chops a tree. Click through a spreadsheet, he mines ore. Close your laptop, he does nothing. Every keystroke is progress. Every click counts.
The Grind is Real
Fourteen skills. Three gathering, three production, two utility, and six combat stats. Everything connects. Woodcutting fuels Smithing and Cooking. Mining supplies the whole chain. Fletching makes the arrows you shoot, Runecraft makes the runes you cast. You gather raw materials, turn them into gear and food, fight for the rarest drops, and work toward whatever you want to be. Level cap is 99 per skill. XP keeps counting after that. Maxing it all out takes hundreds of hours. That's by design.
Fight Back
Pick a style and go. Melee for raw damage and survivability, with four stances that shape which stats you train. Ranged for safe pressure, firing arrows you fletched yourself. Magic for burst power, casting spells fueled by runes you crafted from essence. The combat triangle matters. Bring the right style to the right fight or pay for it.
Twenty-four enemies span goblins to dragons to the Abyssal Lord himself. Boss fights have phases and shifting weaknesses. Their loot tables hold the best gear in the game, including the full Dragon armor set, the Elder Staff, the Elder Shortbow, and four tiny pet versions of the toughest things you've killed.
Gear Up
Forge tools that make you gather faster. Smith full armor sets across six metal tiers. Craft leather and dragonhide for Ranged. Stitch robes for Magic. Cook food that boosts your XP and grants poison on hit. Cut gems into jewelry with passive bonuses. Save your favorite loadouts as one of four gear presets and swap between skilling, melee, ranged, and magic with a click. Every upgrade is something you built from materials you earned.
It Lives on Your Desktop
RuneClick isn't a window you switch to. It's a transparent overlay that sits on top of your taskbar while you work, browse, or play other games. Click through it. Drag it anywhere. Scale it up or down. It launches with Windows, saves automatically, and never steals focus. It's a companion, not a distraction.
