    Hello everyone, Idle Monkey Theorem just crossed 5,000 wishlists on Steam. When I first started building a game around a bunch of monkeys randomly bashing typewriters to recreate Shakespeare, I wasn't sure if anyone besides me would find the concept interesting.

Whether you tried the demo, saw a post somewhere, or just stumbled upon the store page and decided to keep an eye on it: thank you.

Short description

Hire adorable typing monkeys and watch them randomly recreate the complete works of Shakespeare, one word at a time. Upgrade your monkey army, unlock powerful skills, and prove the Infinite Monkey Theorem right in this charming idle clicker.

About this game

Idle Monkey Theorem is a charming idle/clicker game that brings the famous *Infinite Monkey Theorem* to life. Watch as your adorable team of monkeys frantically type away on their typewriters, randomly producing words that-against all odds-slowly but surely recreate the complete works of William Shakespeare. ### The Premise What if monkeys really could write Shakespeare? In "IDLE MONKEY THEOREM" , you'll find out! Hire a team of typing monkeys, upgrade their skills, and collect the words they generate to piece together history's greatest literary works, one word at a time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Key Features ### Build Your Monkey Army - Start with a single monkey and grow your full typing army - Watch their adorable sprite animations as they frantically tap away at their typewriters - Each monkey independently generates words, meaning more monkeys = more words = faster progress! ### Recreate Shakespeare's Works - Progress through authentic Shakespeare texts including plays, sonnets, and poems - Watch your monkeys randomly type the exact words you need—sometimes against astronomical odds - You'll always make progress, even when luck isn't on your side ### Multiple Game Modes - **Classic** : The standard experience with round timers, upgrade trees, and guaranteed word progression. - **Hardcore** : High-stakes typing with pure RNG. No pity timer and no safety nets. - **You Type** : Dismiss the monkeys, take the keyboard, and manually type the target words yourself. - **Idler** : A completely passive mode with no round timers and automatic word harvesting. - **Roguelite** : Draft 1 of 3 random upgrade cards at the end of each round to create unique builds. - **Zen** : A calm, timer-free mode with soothing ambient sounds. ### Collect & Upgrade Harvest **Inspiration Points** from your monkeys' work and invest in powerful upgrades: | Upgrade | Effect | |----------|---------| | **Buy Monkey** | Add more typing monkeys to increase word production | | **Typewriter** | Speed up word generation and display | | **Focus Training** | Make your monkeys type lette…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 12, 2026 to Oct 12, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.24
  • Highest observed: $4.24

Idle Monkey Theorem's USD price history spans from Oct 12, 2026 to Oct 12, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $4.24, the highest is $4.24, and the first visible tracked price is $4.24. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 1
  • Discounted days: 1 day
  • Deepest markdown: -15%
  • Latest sale window: Oct 12, 2026 to Oct 12, 2026

SteamPulse has grouped rows carrying discount metadata into 1 recorded discount window, covering 1 calendar day and 1 discounted snapshot. The deepest recorded markdown is -15%, with a lowest recorded final price of $4.24 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Oct 12, 2026 and ends Oct 12, 2026, spanning 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking. Window boundaries follow the available snapshots, so gaps in coverage can make an actual sale shorter or longer than the recorded span.

Recorded sale names include Steam sale. The table reports the observed markdown, final price, snapshot dates, and any sale name supplied with the row. It can show whether similar discounts recur in the retained record, but it does not infer publisher intent, demand, or the reason a price changed.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.24, from Oct 12, 2026 through Oct 12, 2026. The latest run records $4.24 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $4.99. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $4.24
  • Current list price: $4.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Idle Monkey Theorem at $4.24 in USD, with a listed base price of $4.99 and a -15% markdown. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
