Hacker fantasies. Phosphor-green and paranoid.

THE GAMES

NOISE_FLOOR cover art

NOISE_FLOOR

Surveillance Roguelike / Deckbuilder

A surveillance-resistance roguelike. The system has decided someone is guilty. You have one operation to make it doubt itself before the kill order lands.

SEGFAULT cover art

SEGFAULT

Action Platformer

A clean, deterministic 8-bit hero versus a fluid, predictive AI. Your bullets travel in straight bounces. The enemy can't resolve them. That crash is your platform.

Terminal.exe

Idle / Incremental

An idle hacking game. Watch the data climb. Watch the trace climb faster. Burn the drives before the FBI does and come back stronger.

THE THESIS

Three games. One enemy.
Modern AI thinks it's untouchable.
We disagree.

Terminal.exe - beat the surveillance system that's hunting you.

NOISE_FLOOR - beat the classifier that's about to erase someone.

SEGFAULT - beat the predictor that can't read a straight line.

Old logic. New opponent. The machine doubts itself, you walk through the gap.
