DROPZONE
Drag files across a grid based drive, combine them into powerful reactions, and stabilize systems before corruption, malware, and hostile ROOT events take over. What starts as simple file shuffling quickly turns into a tense puzzle tactics battle full of combos, risk management, and system-wide chaos.
Merge text files into stronger assets, quarantine threats, decrypt locked data, detonate bombs, preserve critical evidence, and adapt to strange drive specific objectives as the campaign escalates deeper into the machine.
