Syntax: OVERLOAD is a strategic roguelite where you don't just play cards—you write the code. Drag and drop modules into your Process Queue, but remember: Syntax is everything.
Compile your perfect syntax. Optimize your build. Just remember: one wrong step, and the corruption takes over.
                                     (The following refers to the demo state.)

  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ 50+ Programmable Modules: Customize your attack queue.
  • ๐Ÿ’Ž 20+ Glitched Artifacts: Passive buffs to aid your survival.
  • ๐Ÿ’€ 30 Layers of Defense: Can you breach the Core? (Demo).
  • ๐Ÿฆ  Historical Malware: Face off against infamous real-world viruses.

 ๐Ÿšง DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP

This game is currently in "Active Development (Demo Ver)".

I am working on expanding the system to its full potential:

๐ŸŽจ Visual Overhaul:The current Emojis are placeholders for raw data. Future updates will replace them with custom Pixel Art / Cyberpunk Icons to match the CRT aesthetic.

๐ŸŽต Audio Upgrade:More sound effects and dynamic background music.

๐Ÿ”“ More Content: New OS classes, more viruses, and deeper mechanics.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note on AI Usage:

  • Code: I am a solo developer using AI as a coding assistant to bring my game logic to life.
  • Visuals: The game utilizes standard Unicode Emojis. No AI-generated imagery was used.
  • Design: All gameplay mechanics, balance, and concepts are human-designed
