SYSTEM FAILURE IMMINENT... Bad Sector is an unforgiving love letter to analog technology and hardcore arcade survival. You are a rogue pixel in a dying CRT monitor. Your mission is simple: Collect HERTZ to keep the signal alive. Avoid the corruption. Survive the scanline. FEATURES: • ANALOG HORROR AESTHETIC: Authentic CRT shaders, scanlines, and chromatic aberration effects. • UNFORGIVING GAMEPLAY: One hit kills. The scanline never stops. • GLITCH MECHANICS: Avoid dead pixels, magnetic interference, and white noise corruption. • TACTICAL ABILITIES: Use the 'Phase' mechanic to hide in the sub-pixels, but beware—you cannot move while phasing. • SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS: Pure, skill-based survival. • HAPTIC FEEDBACK: Feel every glitch and system crash. WARNING: This game contains flashing lights and strobe effects characteristic of old CRT monitors.
