More about this game
Your goal is to guide Kaede past a heavily guarded rooftop to reach the digital terminal. You must avoid guard searchlights and tracking drones while navigating platforms and laser grids. By entering Codex mode, you can hack streetlights, cameras, and drones to freeze enemies and clear your path. The difficulty increases as you manage your Overload meter and energy for dashing. A run ends instantly if you are hit by a projectile, explosion, or laser grid.
Tips
- Each hack adds 28% to your Overload meter. Hitting 100% locks you out of hacking for 5 seconds.
- Dashing costs 100 energy, which takes 3 seconds of delay before it begins recharging.
- Hacking a drone freezes it for 4 seconds, disabling its searchlight and rockets.
Questions
How do I hack objects?
First, activate Codex mode. Then, tap on a glowing node or drone, or press Space/Enter to hack the nearest target.
What happens if a guard spots me?
If you enter a searchlight, the guard will investigate and fire projectiles at you. You have 1 health, so any hit ends the run.
How does climbing work?
When you are near a platform ledge or the final terminal, press the climb button or X to vault upward.
