About the Game

Add Code Nodes to your wishlist to stay up to date with news.

Join our Discord server!

Raw files keep pouring into your server. Some are broken, some are infected, and some are barely holding together. You start bringing order by placing nodes on a grid and assigning each one a small task script. Nothing complicated - simple rules that gradually grow into a real system.

No programming experience required.

The in-game pseudo-language is designed to introduce the basics of programming and logical thinking without overwhelming you. As you get comfortable with it, you will start to understand key principles that can be useful outside the game too.

Code Nodes is not about endless power grinding, but about solving problems, optimizing workflows, and building systems.

Challenge the endless files

  • Get blank nodes.

  • Program them.

  • Connect them together.

  • Optimize and repair.

  • Earn resources.

  • Upgrade your system.

You will restore the files that arrive on the server, sell them back to the company, and use the earned resources to expand your system. The perk tree unlocks new options and helps you handle increasingly complex tasks.

Calm and atmosphere

Play and think in a calm neon atmosphere with relaxing music, watching your system grow and start working on its own. You will have to move fast - management always expects results. That is something you will have to accept.
