MAINFRAME LORE

The Hacker's Odyssey

Your journey in MAINFRAME begins with a simple premise: you are one of the cybernet's most skilled hackers, equipped with an array of tools, your wits, and the audacious desire to expose the dark underbelly of corporate power. In this cyberpunk universe, mega-corporations have tightened their grip on society, controlling everything from information flow to daily life. You stand as a beacon of resistance against this oppressive regime, and it's your mission to expose the truth hidden behind the corp's layers of deceit.

Cracking the Ice

The digital battleground is a maze of security protocols known as "ice," designed to protect the corporate mainframes. Your mission involves navigating through these layers of ice, each more intricate and challenging than the last. Cracking the ice isn't just a simple task of breaking through barriers; it's a complex process that involves running subroutines. Your skills are put to the test as you decipher encryption, manipulate firewalls, and navigate through intricate mazes of code.

But there's a catch – time is your enemy. Failure to crack the ice within the time limit results in you being traced, inching closer to the unmasking of your true identity. To make matters even more perilous, each unsuccessful attempt peels away a layer of your proxy protection, bringing you one step closer to the ultimate hacker's nightmare: black ice.

Black Ice - The Hacker's Bane

As you journey deeper into the game, the specter of black ice looms over you. It's the virtual embodiment of corporate vengeance, a malevolent force that seeks to eliminate any intruder who dares breach the corp's defenses. Black ice is your worst nightmare, a relentless and unforgiving opponent that can terminate your digital existence in an instant.

Your quest is fraught with tension and risk, but the rewards are as grand as the challenges. Success in MAINFRAME means unraveling the darkest corporate secrets, exposing corruption, and empowering the resistance. It's a world where your hacking skills become your greatest weapon, your cunning is your shield, and your progress unlocks a thrilling saga of corporate intrigue and digital warfare.
