About This Game

When reality becomes too much to bear, the only escape is the utopia you built with millions of lines of code. In this world, you are not a hero bound by rules. You are the Creator. The laws of physics, logic, and morality? They are yours to rewrite.

Dive into this retro top-down pixel adventure, use your "Developer Tools" to hack the system, and uncover the glitchy, cruel truth behind "Destiny."

Hack, Paint, & Compose

Forget swords and shields. As the architect of this world, your professional skills are your deadliest arsenal:

  • Code: Reprogram enemy logic, trigger fatal traps, or simply delete the bugs that stand in your way.

  • Art: Hit a dead end? Redraw the map! Create bridges from thin air or warp the terrain to trap your foes on an isolated island.

  • Music: Manipulate the BGM to control the flow of battle. Drive enemies into a chaotic panic or boost your own focus with an adrenaline-pumping rhythm.

These tools aren't just for killing—they are the keys to the world. Break the conventional puzzle logic and reconstruct the levels. The solution is limited only by your imagination.

God or Devil?

In a world governed by your will, there is no law but yours. The "Karma System" watches your every move. Every line of code you change leads to a different ending:

  • The Benevolent God: Help NPCs, fix their problems, and find a peaceful path through the chaos.

  • The Living Nightmare: Don't like an NPC's attitude? Wipe them out. Leave a trail of digital blood wherever you go.

But be warned: Every "gift" you grant comes with a price tag written in the source code. Some costs will elevate you to divinity, while others may corrupt your soul beyond repair.

Reality vs. Fiction

This is more than a game; it is an interrogation of Dreams vs. Reality.

  • When the virtual characters show emotions more real than the humans outside, can you still bring yourself to press "Delete"?

  • When your bank account hits zero and your family begs you to quit, will you seek salvation inside your own creation?

Every choice triggers a butterfly effect. Rewrite the story—for them, or for yourself.
