Alice in the Firewall

In Alice // In the Firewall, you are plunged into the neon-lit mainframe of an Aegis Corp facility. Operating through your digital avatar, Alice, your job is simple: breach impenetrable security gates, override automated defense subroutines, and reconstruct the missing memory fragments buried deep within the grid to escape the lockdown.

Story

Just another high-stakes contract. Until the firewall locked the doors.

As a freelance net-hacker contracted by Aegis Corp, your job is simple: enter their massive, high-security server facilities and resolve the critical, high-level system failures that no one else can handle. You fix the impossible bugs, collect your fee, and leave.

But during a routine diagnostic inside a locked Aegis facility, a sudden lockdown seals you inside. Forced to jack directly into the core terminal to override the security protocols, you are pulled into a surreal digital landscape—a neon-lit firewall structured like a twisted cyber-Wonderland.

To escape the physical building, you must navigate through glitched system processes, solve intricate security ciphers, and unearth the hidden data files Aegis left behind—unraveling a dark truth about the corporation, the firewall, and your own forgotten past.

Gameplay

Override protocols. Decrypt the grid. Escape the facility.

Alice // In the Firewall combines classic point-and-click investigation with tactical puzzle-solving and responsive visual interaction:

• On-Site & Terminal Investigation: Search high-tech Aegis facility terminals, decrypt corporate emails, and reconstruct corrupted logs to bypass physical and digital lockdowns.
• Cyber-Wonderland Architecture: Navigate a surreal mainframe inhabited by glitched digital entities—from mechanical CRT caterpillars to razor-sharp security queens—each guarding key network nodes.
• Tactical Logic Diagnostics: Override corporate security measures by solving complex circuit routing, pentomino ciphers, and diagnostic system locks.
• Interactive Neural Interface: Direct Alice's digital avatar in real time. Her visual state and emotional reactions respond dynamically to your diagnostic inputs, puzzle failures, and security overrides as you navigate the firewall.
