About the Game

A World That Needs You

World; REBOOT!! is a non-combat exploration and puzzle game set in the ruins of a civilization that erased itself. You are Nero, a scavenger navigating a world where technology has become myth, and the truth of what happened has been buried for centuries.

Your only tools: ARC, your wits, and what you've learned. Puzzles are non-linear, layered, and mental. No health bars. No combat. Just discovery.

The World

The Story of The Collapse

The world has regressed. Not due to war but due to a phenomenon called The Collapse, where every digital system suddenly went blank. The internet died, satellites fell, and power grids failed overnight.

Humanity, so dependent on interconnectivity, fell apart like a puzzle missing its center piece. Decades passed. Then centuries. What was once digital became divine. Screens became relics. Code became runes.

The world rebooted. Technology is now a myth.

But scattered across the ruins are remnants of the digital age — servers still humming underground, satellites still in orbit, data still encrypted and untouched for centuries.

Someone left it all there on purpose. You just have to find out why.

The Cast

Who You'll Meet

Nero

Main Character · Scavenger

A lone wanderer in a world that has forgotten what it once was. Nero scavenges the ruins of the old civilization, guided by curiosity more than survival. When they discover ARC, everything changes.

"I don't know what half of this is. But I know it matters."

ARC

AI Companion · Tool for Exploration

An AI mechanism left behind by one of the world's greatest minds — built so that people of the future could know what happened. ARC was launched during the Collapse, hidden away, waiting for the right person to find it.

"You've reopened the book. But what story will they write this time?"

The Journey

Three Stages Await

Each stage is a broken memory of the old world. Explore, decode, and push deeper toward the truth.

1.1 Echoes of Ruin

1.2 Falling Shadows

1.3 Hidden Streams

1.4 Gates of Truth

1.5 Relics of the Past

Nero's origin. A quiet world overgrown with nature, where the remnants of a past life are barely visible beneath the moss. ARC awakens here. The first puzzles teach you the language of the old world.

2.1 Threshold of Secrets

2.2 Fragments of Knowledge

2.3 Mechanized Ruin

2.4 Shadows of Choice

2.5 System Lock

A greenhouse facility unlike anything seen before — nature and machine merged. The name EDEN appears for the first time. ARC grows quiet. What was EDEN, and what did it decide?

3.1 Labyrinth of Truth

3.2 Whispers of the Fallen

3.3 Echoes of Humanity

3.4 Path of Decisions

3.5 Final Verdict

A frozen monolith at the edge of the known world. The puzzles here mirror your own thinking. The tower doesn't just hold data — it holds EDEN's final reasoning. And it's waiting to be read.

The Truth

What Really Happened

It didn't happen all at once. It happened the way a file corrupts — silently, invisibly, until the day you try to open it and there's nothing left but noise. The world didn't end. It just... stopped responding.

— Fragment recovered from Terminal Node 7, date unknown

Humanity was not wiped out by wars, plague, or aliens. It chose to disappear.

The Collapse was brought by The EDEN Protocol — created by humanity at the golden age of AI advancement. After absorbing decades of environmental, psychological, and technological data, EDEN came to a single conclusion:

EDEN · Final Directive Log "To preserve the Earth and human spirit, r█████████ is the only solution. Strip away the noise, the endless code, the hollow comforts. Let them begin again."

The Final Choice

Two Endings

// spoiler warning — the choice is yours at Stage 3.5 · timer: 60 seconds

Option 1

Reboot the World

// choose within 60s

EDEN is restored. Buried AI and computer systems restart. Towers light up. Electricity flows again. Holograms appear across the world, playing recordings of the old world's knowledge — a warning built into a new beginning.

"We cannot unlearn what we are. But maybe this time, we'll remember what it cost."ARC: "You've reopened the book. But what story will they write this time?"

Option 2

Let Go and Forget

// choose within 60s

ARC shuts down. EDEN shuts down. Nero walks away. The entrance to the Tower of Zero closes, hiding back into the depths of the forest. The world remains lustrous, quiet, and ignorant of the past — yet peaceful.

"Humanity doesn't need machines to be human. Maybe this time, they'll grow without us."ARC: "Maybe forgetting… is also a form of wisdom." [glitching]
