Mainframe
The player takes on a mercenary role within Mainframe where they must hunt down AI programs that control cyber space. They are armed with only their consciousness being wired into mainframe and have no physical form, but use self-replicating software to simulate anything imaginable in the digital playground of cyberspace while exploring bizarre servers for work opportunities. The game is set within Tunnel Goons' setting where Mega Corp's activities must be stopped from controlling cyber space entirely with a mix up inspired by Neuromancer and Yokai Hunter Society among others, requiring 2-4 players to play and lasting between 1 - 3 hours depending on the group of people playing it together.
