About the Game



Six months had passed since Mira's father disappeared and was presumed dead. The other day an old computer of his showed up mysteriously. It's unlike any computer she had seen before and convinced her the answer to his disappearance could be found on it. As the last person with any hope of her father's survival, she eagerly began investigating.



Project RyME is a puzzle adventure game where you investigate a strange, old computer to get to the bottom of Mira's father's disappearance. With the help of some interesting allies, use a variety of techniques to hack your way into systems that might have clues. Over the course of the investigation you'll experience at least a dozen different game genres.



  • Navigate a simulated desktop computer's windowing system
  • Use the command terminal to access other computers, run advanced operations and explore the network.
  • Hack into various systems using techniques inspired by real cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
  • Chat with your allies to discuss strategies, review clues and talk about your favorite anime.
  • Play through a variety of digital worlds and minigames that are tightly woven into the story.
  • An interactive tutorial and extensive in-game resources make Project RyME accessible even for those without much knowledge about computers.
