The Shadow Over Cyberspace

What if the internet is not just a network but a living organism permeated by ancient entities craving power? The Shadow Over Cyberspace is a free modem-punk horror visual novel set in 1999, on the brink of an era’s end, where digital and mystical realms begin to overlap. You’re a hacker delving into complex networks, cracking secure databases, uncovering conspiracies, and solving arcane puzzles that perhaps should have remained buried. Your choices will determine the outcome of this clash: mind versus chaos, order versus madness. Immerse yourself in retro-cyberspace vibes, hack the code, expose conspiracies, and try to hold onto sanity when something beyond human comprehension lurks behind the screen.
