YOU BUILT THE SYSTEM. NOW DESTROY IT. Project: AFTERSHOCK is a narrative-driven Arcade Hacking Roguelite set in a dystopian future. You are Dr. Rudolf Reinhardt Richter, who was once known as "The Architect". You built the nation's neural grid. The Regime branded you a traitor and buried you in a cell to silence you. But last night's suspicious "earthquake" shattered the prison walls. Now, you are operating from a forgotten bunker you built 20 years ago. In front of you is a legacy terminal. The Regime is hunting for digital footprints, but they are blind to your analog signals. They think the quake is over... But the real shockwave is coming. GAMEPLAY Reflexes are your only weapon. You have 3 seconds to breach the Regime's firewalls. BE FAST: Identify the correct data nodes, decrypt the files, and siphon the funds. BE CAREFUL: Avoid traps and aggressive AI countermeasures like AEGIS. EVOLVE: The basic law of nature: If you want to survive, you must evolve. Use the funds stolen from the Regime to upgrade your legacy hardware in the Black Market. KEY FEATURES ​Retro-Industrial Atmosphere: No fancy 3D models. Just you, the hum of a CRT monitor, glitchy analog sounds, and the raw tension of green code on a black screen. Roguelite Progression: Did you get caught? No problem. Keep your hardware upgrades and come back stronger. Narrative Unfolding: You are hacking with a goal: Learn the truth, dissolve the system. Decrypt logs from The Regime to uncover the conspiracy and bring down The Regime Advanced Defense Systems: No two hacks are the same. The Regime’s firewall adapts, creating infinite puzzle variations to test your skills. YOUR MISSION: Drain their accounts, activate the "Project: Aftershock" protocol, and clear your name.
