About the Game

Your data retrieval services are in need again. Seems just like another job... right?

You are contacted about recovering sensitive information from BeyondHelix, a company that recently went defunct.

Access their systems, uncover their files and databases, learn about the people through messages and emails left behind, find out what were their goals and ultimately decide: what are the limits? Was it all worth it?

Command-Line Gameplay

BeyondHelix is an investigative puzzle game played entirely through a command-line interface. You will type commands to interact directly with the company's abandoned network.

Core Mechanics & Features:

  • Authentic Terminal Navigation: Use command-line logic to traverse directories, read system files, and execute investigative tools.

  • Investigative Puzzle Solving: You must read through recovered emails, parse database logs, and connect the dots to find information, passwords and unlock restricted machines.

  • Information is Your Key: Every text file and chat log you uncover is a potential piece of the puzzle. Analyze the data you find in one directory to solve a roadblock in another.

  • Immersive Cyber-Sleuthing: Experience the quiet, methodical tension of exploring a compromised system where your only weapons are syntax, logic, and deduction.
