What you need to know

You start with a Network Node and can progress through different file types, from Text to Game. As you unlock new components, such as the CPU and GPU, you can expand your production and research capabilities. The game also features a hacking system and a portal to restart with increased strength. Understanding how to manage your nodes and optimize your production is key to progressing.

Step by step

1. Begin by downloading and uploading files, starting with Text and progressing to more complex types like Images and Videos.
2. Unlock and utilize the CPU to sell processing data, connecting one Processing Seller per core.
3. Use the GPU for mining crypto or other income-generating activities.
