I originally wanted to upload the latest demo here, but the file was a bit too large, which caused the browser to fail to load the game directly. Players can simply go to Steam and click the Playtest button to access the newest demo version!

Syntax: OVERLOAD is a strategy roguelite where you don’t just play cards—you write code. Drag and drop modules into your process queue, but remember: syntax matters. Compile the perfect grammar and optimize your build. But beware—one wrong step, and corruption takes over. (The following content is based on the demo.)

80+ Programmable Modules: Customize your attack queue.

40+ Glitch Artifacts: Passive boosts to help you survive. 

30 Floors of Defense: Can you break into the core? (Demo) 

 Historic Malware: Face off against infamous real‑world viruses.

Development Roadmap

The game is currently in active development (demo stage). I’m working hard to push this system to its full potential.

Notes on AI Usage

Code: I’m a solo developer using AI as a coding assistant to implement game logic. Visuals: The game uses standard Unicode emojis; no AI‑generated images are used. Design: All mechanics, balance, and concepts are fully human‑designed.

Follow this project to get notified when visual updates go live.
