DEEPD!VE

Cyberspace isn't dark.

Everyone expects the shadows — rain-soaked alleys, rivers of code, neon

bleeding into a dystopian night. That's how it's been drawn for centuries.

But the first shock anyone actually jacked into the grid receives is

always the same: it's bright. Clean. Geometric. Nothing casts a shadow,

because the light has no direction here.

This is MINOS's grid. And you're not supposed to be looking too closely

at what's underneath it.

---

DEEPD!VE is a narrative-driven cyberpunk game that alternates between two modes:

▸ STORY — a text-driven visual novel following SKEIN / Ariadne, a pathfinder

  working the grid for reasons that aren't entirely her own, guided (and

  occasionally second-guessed) by her handler over comms.

▸ THE DIVE — turn-based netrunning on a fog-of-war grid. Like 80's game: Rogue.

Roll the dice against DataWalls and CodeGates, manage your ICEbreaker charges, dodge Black ICE, and get to the core before the alert tier catches up to you.

The deeper you go, the less the grid behaves like it's supposed to.

FEATURES

— Branching dialogue with consequences that carry into later hacks

— Dice-and-stat based hacking minigame, difficulty that ramps as you go

— Full Korean / English language support, switchable anytime

— Built-in save system, backlog, adjustable text speed

ABOUT

This is not a demo — it's the first full chapter (Prologue + Chapter 1) of DEEPD!VE. The story continues in future updates. Chapters 2–6 are in development, and your feedback shapes what comes next!

Solo developed by an international student based in the Netherlands. Took about 2 months to develop — MY FIRST GAME EVER!!!!!
