## What is Zero Day Command?

You are the incident commander. A threat actor has breached your network, the clock is running, and every action costs something.

Zero Day Command is a turn-based cyber defense strategy game about making good calls under pressure: investigating before you act, containing the attacker before critical systems fall, and telling the public the truth at the right moment.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Each turn runs through Intel, Analysis, Action and Resolution. You spend action points on eight commander actions: Scan, Trace, Isolate, Restore Link, Public Notice, Patch, Honeypot and Restore Node.
• Balance three resources: Public Trust, Continuity and Evidence Quality. Evidence Quality (Low, Medium or High) decides which actions are safe and which public statements are credible.
• The threat actor adapts. It shifts tactics as the mission goes on, from initial access through lateral movement to exfiltration.
• ARIA, your on-device analyst, observes the board and reports in incident-response language. She tells you what she sees, never what to do.
• Every mission ends with an after-action report on how you handled it.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• A 15-chapter campaign. Chapters 1-10 are free. Chapters 11-15 are a one-time purchase you can restore any time from Settings.
• A Daily Incident: a new scenario every day at midnight UTC, the same for every player, with a streak counter.
• Field Operations: procedurally generated scenarios.
• The mechanics follow the incident-response lifecycle in NIST SP 800-61.

GOOD TO KNOW
• No ads and no subscriptions.
• ARIA runs entirely on your device: Apple's on-device model on iOS 26 and later, and a built-in library of reports on iOS 18 to 25.
• Progress syncs through iCloud. Game Center is optional and only connects if you turn it on.
• Requires iOS 18.0 or later. Runs on iPhone and iPad.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-30

A fairer Daily Incident streak, clearer failed results, and a mission screen layout fix.

• Closing an operation without taking any action, or while a system is still compromised, now counts as a failure, and the result screen tells you why.
• The Daily Incident streak only grows when you finish with a real result. A run with too little evidence to score no longer extends it.
• The debrief and ARIA's analysis now describe a failed closure as a failure instead of a success.
• The mission screen header no longer wraps or cuts off the turn counter, resource values and evidence badge, including on narrower screens.
• Game audio now starts up in the background.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-26

Ten more campaign chapters, a fairer Daily Incident, and a round of gameplay and sound fixes.

• New free chapters 6–10: Zero Trust, Living Off the Land, Double Pivot, Insider Threat and Supply Chain.
• Chapters 11–15 are available as a one-time purchase: Ghost Protocol, Cascade Failure, Red Team Active, Attribution Crisis and Operation Endgame. Restore it any time from Settings.
• The Daily Incident now resets at midnight UTC. Every player faces the same incident and the same attacker that day.
• The main menu shows a countdown to the next Daily Incident, and streaks are counted per UTC day.
• New board animations when a system is compromised, a route is isolated, a honeypot is triggered, data is stolen and the mission ends.
• Action effects now play on the board when you Scan, Patch, Restore or deploy a Honeypot.
• Threat activity now moves along the network routes.
• Trace now reveals hidden clues on the system you trace.
• Patch no longer works on a compromised system. Use Restore instead.
• Undo and the turn limit now behave correctly, and Undo also removes the action from the turn log.
• ARIA's debrief now reflects the actions you actually took.
• Field Operations credits now sync correctly across your devices. Credits you spend on one device no longer come back on another.
• Game sound now follows the silent switch and no longer lowers music from other apps.
• Settings has separate volume sliders for music and sound effects.
• The background music no longer clicks when it loops, and unmuting brings it back.
• Starting a new operation now asks before discarding the one in progress.
• Shared results show the mission's name.
• Game Center connects only if you turn it on.
• The privacy policy now covers iCloud sync and Game Center.
