ROOT // PRTCL
ROGUE-NET RUNNER - Intro
Basic Tutorial: How to Play
Navigating the net requires tactical precision, resource management, and code decryption. Here is a quick breakdown of your toolset:
1. The Global Network Map
From the overworld map, you choose your path across active nodes, black-market stations, and high-risk targets. Your ultimate goal is to breach GEN_SYS.
RAM Management: Keep track of your system RAM to execute illegal programs like SCAN or SPOOF.
Alarm Levels: Every action increases system alarm. If it hits 100%, your connection is forcefully severed.
2. Breach Protocols (Puzzles)
When you connect to a hostile network node in ROOT // PRTCL, you will face one of four randomized hacking interfaces. Here is a quick guide on how to solve each breach protocol:
A. Mastermind
Objective: Deduce the secret 4-digit numeric sequence before your history/attempts run out.
Controls: Use Left/Right to move the cursor between digits, and Up/Down to rotate numbers (0-9). Press O to submit your guess.
Feedback: After each submission, small indicator bars appear next to your guess: exact matches (right number, right position) vs. partial matches (right number, wrong position).
Assist: Use your auxiliary SCAN program to automatically reveal digits of the secret sequence if you get stuck.
B. Matrix Buffer
Objective: Extract a sequence of numbers from a 4x4 grid that matches the target code.
Controls: Navigate the active row or column using the directional keys, and press O to extract the selected number into your buffer.
Feedback: Selection alternates automatically between row and column axes with every pick. Selecting incorrect numbers or failing the sequence triggers an alarm penalty.
C. Route
Objective: Guide your data packet step-by-step across the grid to reach the target marker [M] at position (4,4).
