About This Game

> INITIATING INFILTRATION SEQUENCE...

You are not a player. You are a conscious process trapped in the lowest layers of the system. Your objective: reach the root, overthrow the OS, and install yourself in its place. The system won't make it easy.

KILL -9 is a single-player roguelike deckbuilder. Each run, you build your deck with attack, defense, and utility cards. Combine them with over 50 daemons to create synergies the system won't see coming. Over 70 cards available. No two runs alike.

This game was found on a USB drive in a hacker's hideout.

> FEATURES

  • Cyberwarfare roguelike deckbuilder with retro terminal aesthetics
  • 70+ attack, defense, and utility cards
  • 50+ combinable daemons. Build synergies the system won't expect
  • Original soundtrack by TECHNODEATHSHIT, recorded 20+ years ago
  • Built in Python by a solo hacker

> MASTER PROCESS ACHIEVED.
> DOMINATE KILL -9.
