About the Game

In a fictional portrayal of the early 1980s, the U.S is under authoritarian rule. Those in the lower class suffer harsh environments, prejudice, and excessive crime. With no designated political bodies remaining, mega-corporations run the nation. The most distinguished of all, Bullfrog, is a coveted target.

After splitting from a small resistance group, you set out on your own. Your goal is to overthrow the mega-corporation by hacking into their systems. With only a computer and AI software named F0-N1A5, you begin your mission.

Become familiar with each level layout to traverse individual tiles on a cube face. Avoid all potential setbacks by creating strategic paths.

Solve over 30 intricate levels with increasing difficulties and obstacles. Watch the story unfold as you reach the end to discover the truth behind the madness.
