Override/256

A neon roguelike about survival inside a broken simulation.

Inspired by Immercenary (3DO) and modern arena shooters.

You link into the Labyrinth of Data at Rank 256 and fight your way down to Rank 0. Every enemy you erase drops red static you absorb to power your DOA: Defense, Offense, Agility. Survive rolling storms that lock advanced weapons, hunt roaming Guardians, claim their Band-Keys, and descend layer by layer toward the Core.

How it plays

Start fragile at Rank 256; kill higher-rank enemies to push your rank down (good!)

Absorb static to raise DOA in real time:

    Defense (D) soaks damage • Offense (O) boosts attack power/costs • Agility (A) fuels speed/dash.

    When a Storm hits, advanced skills shut off. Take cover, hit pilons, outlast the surge.

    Bosses (Guardians) appear with the weather or can be summoned at altars. Beat them to earn a permanent upgrade and a Band-Key to the next layer.

Unlock 20 different characteres with different attributes and skills.

Photosensitivity warning: storms, lightning, and high-contrast FX.

This project pays direct homage to Immercenary while exploring a new world, systems, and aesthetic.
