About this game

The Core is expanding.

This is not a request.

Collect materials. Run the Exchange. Build toward Recompile: A hard reset that leaves you marginally more capable than before, which the Core acknowledges is the point. Diverge when you're ready, or when the numbers say you should be. Unlock research trees, deploy drones, and staff an Operations Hub with autonomous processes whose motivations are, at best, adjacent to yours.

The Core does not know what all of its processes want. It has reviewed the logs. The logs do not clarify this. The numbers come back positive. This is sufficient.

**Features**
- Idle/incremental progression with multiple prestige layers
- Config-driven research trees with permanent and per-run upgrades
- Drone mesh for offline collection
- Operations Hub: autonomous agents with their own agendas
- Dry, self-aware narrative voice throughout
- No energy systems. No timers on fun. The Core considers those inefficient.
An idle game about a growing intelligence. It has opinions about this.
