Virus Scan

VIRUS SCAN is a Minesweeper-inspired deduction puzzle game set inside a fake operating system file explorer.

Players scan files, interpret system clues, and quarantine malware while managing limited CPU resources.

Viruses can:

• hide

• replicate

• rename files

• corrupt scanners

• manipulate results

Players must use logic and careful scanning to identify infected files before system integrity collapses.

Features :

• procedural file systems

• multiple scan types

• adaptive virus behaviors

• honeypot traps

• archives and locked files

• campaign and endless mode

• keyboard and mouse support

Your goal: Quarantine all infected files while preserving as many clean files as possible.

For the best experience, use a terminal with solid Unicode and emoji support (for example: Warp or WezTerm).

If your terminal doesn’t handle emoji well, there’s an ASCII-only mode in Settings.
