A BAUD infiltration roguelike

Carrier
Lost

Rhea enters the building. You stay on the line. Read staff routines and social tells, steal the access she needs, turn Meridian against itself, and decide what the operation costs before Kensei closes in.

IN DEVELOPMENT VIEW THE CONTRACT

01 // The Contract

A physical infiltration seen through a compromised live feed. She moves. You handle.

01

Infiltrate

Choose Rhea's faction bargain and wetware before she crosses the threshold.

02

Adapt

Read sight lines, work routines, social gestures, doors, and patrols while the facility builds a response.

03

Extract

Bridge the air gap by hand. The ledger is acquired; wetware dice decide what it costs.

04

Escape

Get Rhea out with the ledger, her cover, and enough wetware left to remember the run.

02 // Handler Feed

The interface is the fiction: a remote operator's view of one bad night inside a building that keeps working around her.

03 // Leaked Intel

The target is air-gapped. The people inside it are not.

Rhea Voss // Operative

Her body is in the building. You are her remote handler; your only reach is wetware, a camera feed, and the advice you give before the next door opens.

Meridian // Sublevel 02

A Kensei data center that watches, reports, and remembers as its response closes around Rhea. Its ghost ledger is sealed beyond the network; no remote exploit crosses the last few meters.

Dice-Based Consequences

At the air gap, the ledger is acquired and the costs are visible. Assign wetware dice, cover what matters, and live with what you leave open.

Training // Then the Quay

Learn the handler link in Meridian with the Assembly. One successful escape unlocks Civic Authority, the Vault, Kessler-Dynacode, and Nacre Bonded Freight for the free game's replayable contracts.

A Living Floor

Staff type, inspect equipment, trade signals, and acknowledge one another between patrol beats. Their routines are cover, warning, and opportunity if you learn to read them.

04 // Access

Meridian training and Nacre Bonded Freight form the free game. One purchase opens the complete multi-building campaign beyond them.

Free // Meridian + Nacre

Training and a replayable contract

Learn infiltration, consequence allocation, and escape in the fixed Meridian Data Center. Complete that training to unlock the generated Nacre Bonded Freight contract and every faction bargain for free replay.

Full Game // In Development

A campaign of new buildings

Carry those bargains beyond Nacre into facilities with different security doctrines, physical systems, and aftermath. One purchase unlocks the complete campaign. No building packs, faction sales, or paid power.

Train in Meridian. Work Nacre for free. Purchase the campaign when the third building comes online.
