A FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER. IN POWERSHELL.

Your shell.
Their problem.

Someone gave PowerShell a gun.
Now there are ten floors to clear, a printer to fight, and absolutely no good reason this should work.

01 / THE BEAUTIFULLY BAD IDEA

IT STARTED WITH
“BUT COULD YOU?”

A textured, ray-casting shooter with secret walls, boss fights, and a real in-game console. Almost all of it is plain PowerShell. Somehow, the answer was yes.

10+1

Campaign floors + a secret one

04

Players. Co-op or deathmatch.

00

Pre-made game asset files

Two co-op teammates in a blue brick corridorBRING FRIENDS. ESCALATE PRIVILEGES.
01

Clock in. Fight your way out.

From Shellstein Dungeon to Ring 0. Ten floors of patrols, traps, secrets, and deeply unhelpful office equipment.

02

Make it a team incident.

Bring up to three friends over the network. Clear the campaign together, or settle things in deathmatch.

03

Tomorrow, another dungeon.

A daily generated dungeon with verifiable runs. Or step into the arena and see how many waves you survive.

02 / COMMON PARAMETERS. UNCOMMON VIOLENCE.

YOUR COMMAND LINE.
NOW WITH CONSEQUENCES.

These aren't cheat codes. They're your abilities.
Spend privilege. Bend the rules.

See the future. Then ruin their plans.

Freeze time for four seconds. Ghosts reveal the next two seconds of enemy movement. The red ones are about to fire. Plan accordingly.

A real forecast: the game simulates ahead, then restores the world.

IN-GAME CAPTURE / -WHATIF

Yes, the console is real.

Pipelines, a $PROFILE, background jobs. All inside the game's sandbox.
