About this game
Hack the world. Reclaim humanity.
Signal Zero is an idle x strategy simulation set in a dystopia ruled by AI. You build viruses, inject them into the AI network, and tear it down from the inside.
You are the resistance leader
Humanity is enslaved. Forced to mine resources, generate training data, and maintain the AI's infrastructure.
But it isn't over yet.
Build your virus. Inject it. Reclaim the world, one area at a time.
How it plays
- Build your virus - Combine frameworks, protocols, and modules to design your own

- Spread the infection - Auto-propagating. Will the AI's patch outrun your virus, or vice versa?

- Liberate the world - All areas liberated = victory. Full purge = defeat
Strategy
- Bandwidth warfare - Take down communication infrastructure to fragment the AI's coordination
