CORRUPT.EXE
CORRUPT.EXE is a neon roguelite where you play the malware. Swarm-survival action with evolving weapons, a 225-combo fusion system, and an adaptive antivirus that profiles your movement, learns your habits, and hunts you smarter every run. Infect. Evolve. Extract — or go endless.

THE SYSTEM REMEMBERS YOU.
You are not the hero. You are an intrusion — a strain of malware loose inside a hostile machine, and the antivirus is learning. It profiles your movement, predicts your dodges, adapts its pursuit mid-run, and carries everything it learned about you into the next one. Every run, the system knows you a little better. Every run, you have to become something it hasn't seen.
INFECT. Choose your strain — the regenerating WORM, the life-leeching TROJAN, the greedy RANSOM, the untouchable GHOST, or the walking apocalypse LOGIC.BMB — and carve through endless waves of security processes, each generation procedurally mutated.
EVOLVE. Fifteen weapons, each with five levels and an evolved form. Then it gets stupid: fuse two evolved abilities into one of 225 fusion combinations, each with its own name, color, and quirk. Fuse two primed fusions and ascend to the OMEGA tier — if you can survive long enough to build one.
SURVIVE THE PURGE. Boss-class defense programs hunt you every five minutes — a ravenous snake that rages when it feeds, a corrupted DVD logo that locks you in the arena, a blackout that swallows the screen whole. Kill the third and choose: extract with your stolen DATA, or go endless and see how deep the system goes. The fast and the bold will find things hiding past the fifteen-minute mark that we won't spoil here.
