🌐 The Network is a Battlefield

The year is 2051. The Dead Internet theory is real: humanity has lost the surface web to an Artificial Super Intelligence. You are a hacker navigating the underground networks, uncovering fragments of "Project Zero"—a mysterious initiative buried in 1980s technology that may hold the key to liberation.

Project Zero combines deep RPG system progression with real-time strategy and territorial warfare.

💻 Deep Hacking Simulation

Success isn't random—it's calculated. Engage in realistic terminal-based intrusions where every second counts.

• Crack vs. Trace: Manage your Cracker speed against the target's Firewall. Complete your objective before the Back-tracing software identifies you.
• Bounce Chains: Route your connection through multiple nodes to extend your trace timer and maintain anonymity.
• Virtual Filesystem: Navigate fully functional Unix-like directory structures (/bin, /etc, /home). Encrypt files, steal data, and manually scrub your access logs to leave no trace.

🛠️ Build Your Rig

Customize your Host to suit your playstyle. Upgrade specific components to unlock powerful synergies:

• Hardware: CPU, GPU, RAM, Storage, and NET architecture.
• Software: AI, Antivirus, Crackers, and Back-tracing utilities.
• Economy: Install Miners to generate passive Bits income to fund exponential upgrade costs.

⚔️ Nexus Control: Faction Warfare

Join The Syndicate or The Collective and fight for dominance on a persistent, global 3D map.

• Hex Conquest: Capture territories by hacking peripheral nodes to lower the shields of the central Nexus Node.
• Network Building: Loot Nexus Keys from successful hacks to establish energy Links between territories.
• Control Fields: Strategically link three Hexes to form triangular Control Fields, generating Faction Points to dominate the seasonal leaderboard.

🏢 Corporations & Community

• Form Corporations: Pool resources with other players in a shared Treasury.
• Management: Assign ranks (Owner, Manager, Employee) and manage Payroll.
• Live World: The game runs on real-time WebSockets. Watch attacks happen live, chat globally, and receive detailed Offline Summaries of events that occurred while you were away.
