>_ESCALATE

A climbing game where the player, as a virus, chains dashes, jumps, and momentum-based movement to ascend through the forbidden memory space of a failing Windows 2000 OS. The space is devoid of predefined platforms, perturbing the system triggers its protection dialogs to spawn as footholds.

The higher you climb, the more aggressive the system gets: collision events ramp up difficulty, spawn rates increase, and the world visually degrades.
