This is a multiplayer game~

When you install the game, you'll get a shortcut on your desktop. This shortcut looks like a cute folder, as in file folder, and when you open it the game screen will open with at it looks like a folder with a machine inside it. With this machine, you can generate your very own virus. At first it'll be completely random. A random virus will spawn in your folder, and it'll walk around that tiny folder being cute and adorable ooor scary, depending on RNG. To make it grow stronger you have to feed it files, like random files. You just have to drag and drop it to the folder and it'll start eating it up. The origin of the files are from real files, but you aren't going to lose that file cause the game will simply make a copy/insert it as an ingame files instead.

Here's the catch, different virus has different tastes. Some virus will only eat .txt and some will only eat .mp4 files. Now as your virus grow stronger. You can send it to attack other computers!!! If you do that, it'll connect to the internet and find another computer(that has the game installed) and it'll spawn inside their folder and fight their viruses and eat their files(inside that folder).

Now different virus will have different tactics. Some will attack the enemy virus till they die and eat the file, some will ignore enemy virus and try to steal the file, and some brings the file back home to your computers. So if you send a party of viruses you can make strategies and tactics.

The point of fighting/stealing other people's files, even though you can get your own files, is earning "Data Points" which is like a currency to upgrade your machine/folder and you can upgrade it in various ways. Such as making it able to more precisely make viruses, so you can make specific kind of virus you want. Or you can make defenses like firewall or anti-virus to protect your folders and files, or maybe you can make auto-file generator to feed your viruses while you are away.

The way this game works is like tamagochi. Viruses will still be "active" while you are not online and can still get attacked, so it's important to get some defenses. Also you can upgrade your folder size so you could put more stuff inside like, putting more "active" viruses, files, firewalls/defenses AND you have to make sure it won't exceed the folder size. If it's 10MB folder size, then you have to fit the things you want less or equal the amount. Every viruses have their own individual file sizes. Inactive viruses won't eat and grow and they can't defend you. They're just sitting there in the storage

The goal of the game is to have the ultimate virus army with super strong viruses and take over THE INTERWEBS.
