This is my idle game. I like it.

The plot's setting is grimdark, but with enough humor and absurdity to make it disturbing fun instead of simply depressing. Think Swift's 'A Modest Proposal' in a capitalistic nightmare world where each corporation has its own uniquely horrible version of eating babies for fun and profit.

As to the game itself - Limbus company has gacha elements (battlepass/daily log in rewards), so normally I would not recommend. However, the story's just too dang good, and the gameplay is the perfect mix of some challenging battles, and some rewarding of tactical setups, but also providing plenty of minimal-attention battles for grinding rewards in the background while doing something else. The devs also seem to be quite responsive to community feedback, and are decent at providing FTP users with enough stuff to get by.

I wouldn't recommend jumping into Limbus Company off the bat though. Play Lobotomy Corp / Library of Ruina first - dozens or hundreds of hours of already complete games set in this universe to see if you like the story and world enough to support a live service game.

Fair warning for those games though (and this one): The grind is real.
