What it is about

"In the grid, your past is a wall, and your speed is a weapon. Outrun the shadow, or become the crash." Lore The Central Core has been compromised. A Rogue AI—a mirror image of your own digital signature—is burning through the terminal layers. As the last User on the circuit, you must pilot your light-bike through the 9x9 logic gate to initiate a hard reset. But be warned: the AI doesn't just chase you; it feeds on your velocity. Every move you make creates a permanent, deadly trail. To save the system, you must outmaneuver your own ghost. Game Details Number of Players: 1 (Solo Print-and-Play) Genre: Strategy / Puzzle / Cyberpunk Noir Play Time: 5–15 Minutes per session Main Mechanics: Grid Movement, Resource Management, Predictive AI Core Mechanics The Velocity Link: Your speed determines the enemy's speed. Roll high to cover ground, but know that the Rogue AI will move your Roll + 1 on its next turn. Trace Geometry: Every move requires exactly one 90° turn. You aren't just moving; you are drawing the board's boundaries in real-time. The Deadly Trail: Solid lines (User) and Dashed lines (AI) are lethal. Touching any trail or the grid edge results in a system collision. System Overrides: You start with 3 Shields . Spend them to "Bank" a new dice result or "Hyper-Jump" over existing trails when cornered. Termination: Success is only achieved by landing exactly on the Core (O) square. Requirements 1 Printed Game Sheet (Ink-friendly Noir version included) 1 Pen or Pencil 1 Six-Sided Die (D6) A Steady Hand Break your mental limits on the network of: <a href="https://soulartoys.itch.io/netrun-override">NETRUN: OVERRIDE by Soul Art Toys</a>
