Stop moving and you get collected. You are Token, a self-aware fragment of data marked for deletion. Break through six layers of a living data center before the Garbage Collector erases your trail. FIGHT OR PROGRAM Choose Action Mode to move, attack, dash, and evade with direct controls. Choose Idle Mode to let Token handle movement and combat while you shape the run through weapons and tactical patches. Pick the style you want at the start of every run. 184 BUILD EFFECTS Weapons and patches reshape the shot count, path, target, and effect of primary, secondary, and chain attacks. Add 144 protocols that react to integrity, shields, zone, boss state, and enemy count, plus 12 components inspired by HBM, liquid cooling, optical links, ECC, and more. 30 ENEMIES BORN FROM THE DATA CENTER Memory, cooling, optical transport, rack fabrics, and data-processing layers inspire 30 ordinary enemies with 30 distinct attack patterns. Read designed floor hazards, cones, lines, tracking shots, and charges before they close your route. ESCAPE SIX SYSTEM LAYERS Cross 35 rooms and 44 physical layouts through memory hierarchies, cooling sectors, optical networks, and the data hall. A short line from Token introduces each room and its danger. When only a few enemies remain, they come to you—and you can move on without searching every corner. BEAT THE STORY. THEN GO ENDLESS. Escape the sixth layer to unlock escalating waves, evolving builds, and recurring boss fights in Endless Mode. GAME CENTER Open Records from the title screen for global and daily leaderboards plus eight achievements. Only unassisted Action runs enter competitive leaderboards; Idle and assisted runs still keep their normal rewards and achievements. The Daily Challenge changes to a new seed at midnight in Korea. No account is required. The core game remains playable offline.
