Mainframe Escape

Escape the simulation.

$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

The simulation has noticed you leaving. Steer a hovercar down an endless digital highway, dodge the system's enforcers, and don't stop — the brakes were never installed. REALITY CHECK: FAILED. ALL SYSTEMS: NOMINAL. Somewhere beneath the green rain of falling code, there's a highway. You're on it. You're going very, very fast. And the system would prefer you stopped existing. MAINFRAME ESCAPE is an endless arcade racer about leaving a simulation that has other plans. Steer with a touch or a tilt. Everything else — braking, for instance — has been deemed unnecessary by the developers, who apologize for nothing. YOU WILL BE DODGING: • Suspiciously well-dressed men who all seem to be the same guy • Squid-like security drones with too many arms and one bad attitude • Government SUVs with tinted windows and zero lane discipline • Firewalls of raw code with exactly one gap in them (find it) • Phone booths. In the middle of the road. Don't ask. Or do — asking questions is rather the point. YOU WILL BE COLLECTING: • A red capsule that makes you briefly unstoppable • A blue capsule that slows the whole world down — fair warning: it also fires a bullet at you, because dodging bullets in slow motion is a skill worth practicing • Code fragments that multiply your score, for those who believe there is no cap YOU WILL BE FEELING: • The smug glow of a NEAR MISS bonus earned at 600 digital miles per hour • Seven levels of escalating "this is fine" • Whatever waits behind the gate at the end. (There's a party. We've said too much.) Every sound in the game is synthesized live — the engine hum, the crashes, even the celebration techno. No ads. No accounts. No in-app purchases. No data collection — we couldn't track you if we wanted to, and we don't want to. This is a game, not a surveillance product. How refreshingly analog of us. Beat your best distance. Question your reality. Mind the phone booths. A Gilberdyne production. No agents were harmed in the making of this game.
