An incremental FPS where you can't aim, so you buy aimbots, wallhacks and worse from a sketchy cheat shop to beat the bots.

About Pure Skill

Pure Skill is an incremental first-person shooter for Windows about cheating. You start with a pistol, no cheats and no skill, play matches against bots in FRAGZONE, a game on a retro desktop, and spend the credits each match pays in N0SC0PE HAX, a shady cheat shop. There are eight cheats, each with its own upgrade tree: a hitbox expander, aimbot, wallhack, triggerbot, speedhack, no recoil, infinite ammo and rage, with upgrades such as aim keys, bullets that ricochet between targets, shooting through walls and explosive kills. Maps grow from a 1v1 aim map to packed lobbies, and the lobby chat reacts as your cheating becomes obvious, going from “gg” to “REPORTED”; there is no anticheat and you are never banned. There are skins for every gun and custom crosshairs. It is a single-player game: every match is played against bots. The developer writes on r/incremental_games: “Code is written by claude and everything else made by me.” A free demo came out on Steam on 5 Nov 2026; the full game is listed as coming soon.

How it was built

Partially verified
ClaudePrimary

In a post on r/incremental_games announcing the free demo (5 Nov 2026, UTC) the developer writes: “AI disclosure: Code is written by claude and everything else made by me.” The developer names Claude without saying which app. In a reply under the post the developer adds that Steam does not require a disclosure for AI use in code; the Steam page carries no AI disclosure.

Development approach

Per the developer, Claude wrote the code and the developer made everything else. The engine is not named. The bots and their lobby chat are part of the game's own design (the store page describes chat that reacts to how obviously you cheat); Steam lists no AI-generated content and nothing suggests the game calls AI services.

“AI disclosure: Code is written by claude and everything else made by me”
— metonia, I made an FPS incremental about cheating. Free demo is out. (r/incremental_games)

Verification notes: AI use from the developer's post as u/vertiphy on r/incremental_games (5 Nov 2026, 20:08 UTC), read from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 8 Nov 2026. The post itself links no store page; a minute later (20:09 UTC) the same account replied “Here is the link if anyone wants to try it!” with the Steam page of app 5501560, which ties the Reddit account to the game. The developer's wording (“Code is written by claude”) does not say all of the code, so no AI code share is recorded. Steam (store page and API on 8 Nov 2026): developer metonia, publisher Kedy Games, release “Coming soon”, Windows, single-player, no price, no user reviews; the demo (app 5503090) was released on 5 Nov 2026 and is free. Supported languages differ slightly between the full game and the demo (the demo adds Spanish – Spain and does not list Korean); the full game's list is used. In replies the developer says a multiplayer game on the same idea already exists under another name, that the focus is on PC, and gives the Discord name vertydev. No team size or location is stated. The post had a score of 214 on Arctic Shift (observed; not a metric). The demo was not played.

Development history

  1. The free demo is released on Steam, and the developer shares it on r/incremental_games, saying the code is written by Claude.
