About This Game

A GOD'S GREATEST SIN IS THE BIRTH OF ITS CREATION

Enter an ASCII-Art bullet hell war-zone!
Guide and maintain your Android and enact vengeance upon this corrupted world.
Talk to her, learn about what humanity means to her and find out what it truly means to you.
Upgrade C424, keep her loyal, and use her to paint the Concrete Plains red.

But remember: PANOPTICON always stares back.

You will die. A lot. But metal is cheap, and parts can be swapped. Thus, you can keep trying as much as you need. It is not you catching the bullets anyway.

Experience:

• Over 3000 lines of dialogue

• 6 unique Endings

• 7 unique Bosses

• Almost 200 unique Upgrade pick-ups

• And much more

New Game+

Once you reach the conclusion of your first Play-through, you'll get the chance to try again. Try to do things better, this time. Or, you can take on a brand new challenge in the form of New Game plus:

• Harder difficulty

• More enemy types

• Harder bosses

• New tech tree with weird new mechanics

• A new boss

• A secret ending

• New Combat Upgrades

• And more

And if that was not enough, things will only get harder. Once you completed New Game+, you can jump right in to NG+2, NG+3, and beyond. Each rising the bar in terms of difficulty. 

C424 "Cara" - Gen 4 Combat Android

Your weapon. Your arms and legs. The instrument to enact your will. She is yours to command and yours to do with as you see fit.

Or your trusted partner, your missing half, and maybe, even your friend. It all depends entirely on you.

Each run will leave its mark on her body.

Take care of her well!

Deep, Multi-Layered Lore

Explore Strata 13 and discover the origins and horrors of the Human-Android conflict that spans millennia.

Learn about the fractured humanity, shattered and spread through the hundreds of Strata which encompass the Megastructure and the vicious Androids, organized into an ultimate extermination force, trying to hunt humanity down to extinction.

Fight, Unlock, Upgrade

Defeat enemies and use the data and upgrades you collect to turn C424 into a weapon that fits your playstyle. If only fate would be so kind as to give you what you need. But the Admin must make do.

Will you trade speed for defense?

Make your bullets bounce between targets?

Or bypass all safety restrictions to triple  your fire rate? 

About the Project

Developed independently as a solo project with a bit of help from some very good friends. I wanted to see how far I push the idea of ASCII art. This is the result: Story, lore, crazy action beats and a "must protect" companion in the form of C424.
