Quiet Grind

Description of App

Quiet Grind is an idle RPG for people with lives. Train 30 skills, battle through five adventure zones, and keep making progress — even when you're not playing.

Mine ore, chop wood, catch fish, smith gear, steep and enchant. Every skill has its own tools, recipes and mastery track, and they feed each other: what you gather becomes what you craft, and what you craft makes you stronger.

PROGRESS WHILE YOU'RE AWAY
Close the app and your character keeps training. Come back to a satisfying pile of gains — up to 8 hours of away progress in the free game, 24 with the optional unlock.

NO ADS. NO ENERGY BARS.
No forced waits you have to pay to skip. No video to sit through before a reward. Quiet Grind asks for your time, not your attention.

Accessibility Comments

Fully designed with voiceover in mind, everything is %100 accessible, and easy to use.
Headings, easy data within swipes, use of a handy number box to add in information and lots of informative text rather than crazy long tables, plus nice sounds and music as well.

I did sometimes have to flick around to find the tutorial messages at the beginning, but that's not really a major issue, especially since even without the tutorial the game is very self-explanatory anyway.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Other Comments

Lots of fun, with relaxing music, a lot of unique skills and items such as astronomy, sailing and taming of pets.

Plus, though this game is intended to be something of an idle grind (hence the name), there are still surprises to find, from extra treasure troves whilst mining or woodcutting, to occasionally creating high value sail items whilst tanning leather or smithing.

With daily and weekly quests, as well as bosses to fight and many skills to raise, though the game is idle, there's always something new to do.

The demo version can be played as long as you like, but contains only some of the skills and the first two adventure zones, so I would highly recommend picking up the full version if you enjoy the game.
