Null Runner

Null Runner is a cyberpunk roguelike deckbuilder where every run is a high-stakes score. Infiltrate secure networks, manipulate enemy firewalls, and deploy devastating exploits before the system locks you out — and tracks you down.

Build your deck. Crack the servers. Escape before the NullTrace finds you.

[BREACH PROTOCOL]

Each round is a cyber breach in progress — cards hit servers, defenses react, and the system closes in. Mistakes will end your Run— permanently.

• Play cards directly onto servers to crack their defenses.

• Manipulate, delete, or reroute enemy cards trying to lock you out.

• Read the enemy defenses and track what countermeasures they're likely to play next.

• Stack passive Hardware for cascading effects and long-term combos.

• Score big by cracking two servers before the trace catches up — the faster you finish, the more BYTES you earn.

Play smart. Play fast. One misstep and hunter-seeker programs will flatline you.

[Break the System (Before It Breaks You)]

Every Run delivers new tools, synergies, and strategic hacks. Build your rig, adapt on the fly, and push your luck as you go breach deeper into corporate defenses.

• Null Runner Factions – Each playable character has a unique hacker playstyle.

• Hardware Modules – Each passive transforms how your entire deck functions.

• Max Security Bosses – Each score against a faction pits you against a game breaking boss.

• Digital Black Market – Spend earned BYTES in shops after each match to customize your deck mid-run, optimizing your strategy and building for the next boss.

The deeper you go, the wilder the combos — but the clock is always ticking. One day your luck will run out, best to score as many BYTES as possible and retire in style.
