What’s an AFK game? well, it’s just a game that lets you go afk, yet you still receive the results you would get even if you were staring blankly at the screen. An excellent alternative to gamers who have to do everything at once. Some games have afk features inside, like KAL online’s fishing system, runescape’s fishing system, Guild wars had an afk title farm, but it was an exploit.
But here comes a game that can be played with you mostly afk.
Enter restaurant city, a rising phenomenon in facebook application history.
Now, some of you are already saying: huh, what? that’s not a GAME! It’s supposed to be like WoW or warhammer online or LoTr online where it needs mindless grinding! Well, the concept behind this game itself makes it very attractive. All you have to do is to lay out the framework for your AI controlled workers to work around in, and they do all the work-
-LIKE BOTS.
YES, LIKE BOTS. I mean, why the heck do i have to do a single thing one million times over(which i have already done a lot in guild wars) to get to a certain level or a certain achievement, so that i have to do another thing one million times again? That’s why we have AI right? Let them do the work! Ladies and Gentlemen, we are wasting our time doing stuff over and over again with zero variations, like a mindless PC! the same scripts, same macros, same commands over and over again in our brains, making us feel stupid, seriously.
Maybe some of you like the grind with the reward at the end. Heck, with friends, its actually fun. That’s fine if you love to do so, but that’s what i feel about grinding after years of doing it. So, what’s your afk game or afk feature in a game? feel free to share, for some of us are less hardworking than the others.
Ah, time to go refresh my bots in restaurant city again.

Granado Espada does this to a ridiculous degree. At higher levels it boils down to ’set to autoplay, go do something more fun’. The last part is probably why I don’t play it anymore. That and the game economy went from nonexistent to prices through the roof for premium items.
