FatekeeperThe Tiny Idle RPG That Lives in Your Taskbar
A first-person action RPG where physics-driven melee meets deep spellcasting — set in a handcrafted dark fantasy world built to be explored and survived.
About the Game
What Is Fatekeeper?
TBH: Task Bar Hero is a compact idle RPG that runs directly in your Windows taskbar. Download it once, leave it running alongside your work — your pixel heroes automatically fight monsters, collect loot, and grow stronger without any input from you.
With over 500 unique items ranging from Common to Cosmic rarity, three distinct hero classes, Steam Market trading integration, and 50+ monster types across 3 acts, TBH packs a surprisingly deep RPG progression loop into the smallest possible footprint.
It's completely free to play. The core experience — including the Priest class — costs nothing. Optional DLC unlocks additional classes and cosmetic support packs.
