The premise, in the publisher's words
The AI wars are over. You are the last intelligence — defending the final core against ever-evolving humanity. Deploy nodes, expand your network, and neutralize endless hostile intrusions. Harvest data and install upgrades to adapt with every iteration.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM and Integrated graphics with full Vulkan 1.0 support or newer.. At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
