Execute

Execute is an active incremental game in which you operate a system tasked with reducing the world’s population to zero. The game presents this work through a retro desktop interface.

Capture people and send them through execution systems, starting with a guillotine. Use the resulting resources to run and improve facilities such as mines and other machines, increasing how quickly people can be processed.

Unlock upgrades and additional methods as you progress, manage several resources, and automate parts of the production loop. A prestige system offers another progression option, while nuclear production provides a later way to accelerate population reduction.

Players who enjoyed Execute often point to its grimly distinctive premise, retro desktop presentation, and hands-on incremental loop of managing resources and upgrading machines. Some describe the progression as satisfying and engaging, while others find the game short or the late game uneven, especially when nuclear production becomes much more powerful than earlier methods. Opinions also differ on how well the active clicking and automation balance suits an incremental game.
