About the Game

Routers are the couriers of the digital age - a select few talented individuals prepared to confront the untamed wilds of Netspace. You'll run files to every corner of the internet - sprinting through fields and leaping over chasms to a reactive soundtrack that can feel your moves.

Overview

HyperRouter is a first-person parkour exploration game, with a focus on blistering speed and perfect lines. Death-defying leaps over chasms and cracks are what define the life of a router, so maintaining momentum will be essential to surviving Netspace.

Exploration

Netspace is a new frontier for humanity - a digital world that connects the minds of people everywhere - but it is not yet so safe to explore. As one of many sufferers of "Netspace Amnesia," you'll have much to learn from your journey in the wilds. Talk to other netizens, find discs and data logs, and uncover the internet's shady underground communities.

Data Runs

Never forget that you're on the job here. As a router, your task is to run files for the dwellers of Netspace. This will entail daring routes across the landscape, where speed is key and safety is left in the dust. This will challenge your reflexes and test your understanding of the environment, and soon you'll be finding shortcuts, optimisations, and tenuous paths to get those times down.

A Future Past

Mixing early-internet aesthetics with a massive open-world, the picturesque vistas of the Netspace Wilds are soaked in digital artefacts and dream-like haze. Landscape features melt and twist before your eyes, and every turn will tangle you further in a confounding, non-euclidean maze.
