Quick questions
A few useful answers before you start.
Is Deskrawl released?
Yes. Steam lists September 28, 2026 as the release date. The store link leads to the released game.
Can bosses become minions?
The official description includes bosses among capturable enemies. It does not establish a guaranteed drop or a universal capture rate.
Does idle mean offline progress is guaranteed?
No particular offline formula has been verified for this guide. Running at the bottom of the desktop does not by itself prove progress while the app is closed.
