SUMMERY

LABOUR IS JOY. SILENCE IS SAFETY

Packet Loss places you in the digital cage of Tenant 103, a worker drone in a retro-futuristic dystopia. Your job is simple: extract data packets to meet the quota. But as the grid begins to glitch, the dark secrets of The W.O.R.L.D estate start unveiling.

Part arcade reflex game, part psychological thriller, the game explores the cost of survival in a surveillance state. Will you keep your head down and erase the past to feed the System? Or will you risk "deletion" to listen to the ghosts in the machine?

HOW TO PLAY

The game is played entirely using your mouse (or touch screen on mobile). In the visual novel sections, simply select the dialogue option you wish to choose.

On the mining mini game, click to deploy scan lines that move up and down the screen. Your goal is to place as many lines as possible without them touching. If a new line collides with an existing one, the terminal will crash and your shift will end immediately.
