About the game
「This game is part of the Bahamut 30th Anniversary Indie Game Promotion Program.」
// SYSTEM INITIALIZATION... LOADING CORE PROTOCOLS
SYNTAX: OVERLOAD is a fusion of Programming Logic and Roguelite Strategy. Here, you don't just play cards—you script your own combat sequence.
Core Mechanics Strategy over luck. Construct infinite chains using 80+ unique Modules and 40+ Relics. Buff your next attack with "Fire", or drop a "Zip Bomb" to consume adjacent modules for a devastating blow. The execution is in your hands!
Diverse Hacker Archetypes
Exploit system vulnerabilities to build your ultimate malware: RAM Hoarder, Garbage Overflow, Pointer Shifting, and more. Whether you follow established protocols or invent entirely new exploits, your imagination is the only limit.
Game Features
Hardcore Retro Aesthetic: CRT scanlines, glitch noise, and pixel-art illustrations transport you back to the terminal world of the 80s.
Endless Threats: Battle against "Ransomware", "Trojans", "Crypto Miners", and face off against the "System Architect" guarding the Kernel.
Dark Web Protocol: Collect scattered data fragments to unlock hidden, high-difficulty layers.
Dynamic Events: Encounter a wide variety of random events waiting to be explored (just try not to catch a virus...).
Software Center & BIOS System
Every failure is data accumulation. Access the BIOS to tweak your starting parameters, expand your memory, and unlock new "Operating Systems" (Classes).
