INFILTRATION
Take the fight
inside.
A building is a battlefield of its own. Send your Hacker through the breach and fight its internal security in first person.
Inside this C2 Node, the defenders aren't about to hand over access.
A REAL-TIME STRATEGY GAME INSIDE THE MACHINE
The system is at war.
Command the army. Become the unit.
WINDOWS ◆ LINUX MAC PLANNED
WELCOME TO HOST
A living machine.
A war for control.
Beyond the screen, a system is tearing itself apart.
Root holds the line. Malware wants the keys. You are the COMMAND PROCESS, an authority neither side fully understands. Raise an army, seize the data, and decide who deserves control of the machine.
A neon wireframe RTS inspired by Command & Conquer: Red Alert.

SUDO GUNSHIP
Elevated

Man the gunship yourself. Circle the battlefield in white-hot thermal view, pick out the Malware below, and bring the firepower.
A new angle on an old-fashioned firefight.
GAP GENERATORS
An empty sector.
Or an army you can't see.
The skirmish AI hides its forces behind gap generators.
Same position. Same threat. A very different picture.

TWO FACTIONS. ONE HOST.
Who deserves
control?
ORDER. BOUNDARIES. CONTINUITY.
Hold the line.
Root is HOST's own defense: clean geometry, disciplined armor, and a system worth protecting. Under MARSHAL's command, continuity comes first.
“Unknown process detected.MARSHAL · ROOT COMMANDER
Unknown is temporary.”
ADAPTATION. EXPANSION. CONSENT.
Break the pattern.
To Malware, Root's perfect order looks a lot like stagnation. HEX leads a spiked, crawling army that sees every restriction as an invitation.
“Root's building another wall.HEX · MALWARE COMMANDER
Adorable.”
EVEN THE WRECKAGE GLOWS
Leave your mark
on the machine.
Explosions burn neon. Smoke cools into team colours.
Scorched circuit traces remember where the battle was.
THE WAR, FROM BOTH SIDES
Two campaigns.
One contested system.
Fight through eight missions as Root and eight as Malware. Discover the conflict from both sides of the firewall.
Then write your own battles in skirmish—or build the battlefield yourself with the map editor.
