NULLPTR

Description

NULLPTR is a real-time tactical hacking puzzle, nominated as a finalist for Innovation and Best Brazilian Game at Gamescom LATAM 2024, where every action you take reshapes the challenge ahead. Infiltrate megacorp servers, reroute connections, collect valuable data, and outmaneuver adaptive defenses, all while racing against the clock and the relentless threat of reactive sentinels.
