THE MAINFRAME IS HUNGRY. FEED IT YOUR COURAGE.

You are RETROROM — a lone diver jacked into the corpse of a dead mainframe, falling sector by sector through its haunted circuitry.

Every sector is procedurally generated. Every uplink is firewalled. To descend, you must rip 3 ACCESS SHARDS out of each sector while viruses, worms, trojans and daemons hunt you through neon-lit corridors.

Salvage RAM, GPUs and SSDs to forge yourself into something the machine fears. Your hi-score is carved into the mainframe forever. How deep can you go?

FEATURES

  • Retro raycaster dungeon crawling with pure 90s FPS feel, right in your browser.
  • Procedurally generated sectors — no two descents alike.
  • E.T.-style shard hunt: collect 3 ACCESS SHARDS to unlock each uplink.
  • Real-time combat vs. viruses, worms, trojans and daemons.
  • Salvage RAM, GPUs and SSDs as upgrades.
  • Procedural industrial soundtrack (Web Audio).
  • Keyboard + touch controls for desktop and mobile.
  • Endless descent with persistent hi-score.
