You are a weaponized AI virus infiltrating the network of an alien race that has enslaved humanity for over two centuries. The alien antivirus will find and delete you in just 13 seconds — but death isn't the end. Every time you're caught, you respawn and can follow the exact path your previous attempt carved through the system, using your own backtrace as a shield or shortcut. Race through a striking low-poly, neon-lit 3D maze of hexagonal chambers, collecting corrupted data and disabling power generators and weapon systems level by level. Precise, twitchy movement and a hard time limit make every run tense and short, while the trail-based respawn mechanic turns repeated failure into a puzzle-like tool for planning your next attempt. Clear every level and destroy the alien network's main memory core to free humanity. Originally released as xx142-b2.exe, winner of the Overall/Desktop category at js13kGames 2019.
