The game powered by your life. Complete real tasks, synergize your hardware and wetware, defeat the oligarchs. Give the corporate dystopia and your life a Hard Reset.
Hard Reset - The Game Powered by Your Life
This isn't gamified productivity. It's not badges for brushing your teeth. Hard Reset is a full cyberpunk roguelike deckbuilder that happens to be powered by your real-world accomplishments.
Your Life Fuels the Fight
Every real task you complete earns Action Points (AP). Use them to move through the city, attach new hardware, mod your cyborg body, and unleash devastating combos against the oligarchs and their henchmen controlling a dystopian city.
Deep Roguelike Gameplay
- Procedurally generated runs ensure every attempt feels fresh
- Build synergistic decks from cybernetic hardware and wetware insights
- Permanent meta-progression unlocks new cards, abilities, and story paths
- Three acts culminating in a fight to destroy or release an imprisoned ASI
A Narrative That Matters
You're a cyborg revolutionary fighting through a corrupt city to destroy—or free—an artificial superintelligence. Each death brings resurrection via cloning and new knowledge. A cast of animated characters with their own agendas and stories unfolds as you make friends and enemies. Nothing is as it seems in this twisting story.
Based on Behavioral Science
Designed using principles from contingency management therapy, Hard Reset transforms task completion into genuine gameplay. This isn't a checklist with RPG elements bolted on—it's a complete game that harnesses your real-world momentum.

Ratings & Reviews
* [FEATURE] Added the new boss Maj. Bully

* [FEATURE] Added back speech bubbles for enemies
* [FEATURE] Card art now has a bevel to give it a bit more depth

* [FEATURE] Added The Machinist event back in, but this time they offer Hi-Tech Components
