About
The Mainframe is lost, and you might be the only person still able to fight the MegaCorps. Lucky you! Your mission: dismantle capitalism one computer server at a time.
Data is currency, money, moola 🤑 The MegaCorps have too much info on me, you, and everyone. You’ll be taking it back. After all, progs aren’t cheap!
Progs are powers, and the MegaCorps control them all. You'll be stealing their code, and using it against them. Expect consequences.
You didn’t think the MegaCorps were going to let you reach the Mainframe without a fight, did you? The cyberstakes are high. Get disconnected too many times, and your mission starts from scratch.
The Big Three’s defenses are strong, Hacker, but you can be stronger. Pick up new tricks on every run, use the MegaCorps' progs to change the world, and find that Mainframe!

Reviews
This is a truly excellent roguelike with extraordinary depth and opportunities for player expression. It has a difficulty curve that feels truly challenging, which makes mastering its systems all the more satisfying.
Fantastic game that is tough as nails. It's a bit overwhelming at first, but as you come to know: 1. The programs that you can run (skills) 2. The scripts that you can read (scrolls) 3. The data that you can pilfer (treasure) 4. The transmissions that you can banish (monsters) You begin to realize that this game is actually a traditional roguelike with many high-tech facets, a diamond of a game. A solid recommendation from me. Good luck... You will need it!

GOTY 2026, I can't stop thinking about it
Very tightly designed puzzler, with awesome vibes and tons of synergies to figure out. Wish more people were playing it so I could check out more discussions/guides/etc!
I can't stop thinking about this game.
If you're a fan of Bug Hunter (from UFO 50) or Caves of Qud, get this game. (Basically, turn- and grid-based strategy where a huge chunk of the fun is from exploration and discovering how everything works on your own.) I was hesitant to purchase this game at first, because the smiley face/art didn't appeal to me... but immediately upon playing a demo level and hearing the music, it was an instant buy. The soundtrack slaps. I love this game.
868-back has taken over my life
really good puzzle roguelike :3
100% going to be getting the Best Game You Suck At Award this year for me but I keep going!
Addictive and highly well-designed puzzle/roguelike game. Good soundtrack, too.
