Unique and structured way to play
The game begins with the main character, a magician, who sneaks into insurance company A and tries to hack all the computers, and the employees who witness him rush to subdue the intruder.
However, the protagonist, who dreams of revenge, has no intention of harming even innocent employees, so he has to predict the movement of NPCs and neutralize them through various magic cards to achieve the goal without violence.
The basic game operation is to move to A and D, use E to hack the computer, and use magic with Q, W, R, S and the mouse. The game ends when the hero reaches the 63rd floor of the insurance company building, and he or she must achieve 100% of the hacking gauge on each floor to go up to the next floor.
The main character starts each stage with 52 magic cards, and must use the cards to neutralize the various patterns of staff who rush to prevent hacking. If you collide with staff, a penalty of losing a large amount of cards is applied, and if you collide with staff while all cards are gone, the game is over.
The magic that the protagonist casts through cards is ‘card throwing’, which pushes away employees according to each type, ‘shuffle’, which charges a small amount of cards at a slow speed, ‘disguise’ that allows you to move around the employees for a short time, and in an instant. There are ‘door movement magic’ that moves a long distance, ‘black war’ that cuts off electricity on the floor to incapacitate all employees, and ‘black and white joker’ that significantly slows down all employees. There are many types of magic that can be used.
Therefore, gamers have to think about how to successfully clear the floor by consuming the minimum number of cards through the main character, and if they do not respond to the employees’ patterns in time, their sudden actions will cause sudden changes in the situation. should not be delayed
