Malware.exe Demo

Malware.exe is a short incremental game where you destroy files and receive bytes to grow a virus. You will destroy files with your cursor and unlock upgrades on a circuit-board tech tree with the bytes gained. Destroy more and more files with each upgrade. Features dark ambient audio.

About This Gamemalware.exe is a single-player incremental game where you play as a virus infecting a digital filesystem. Your goal is simple: destroy files, get bytes to feed to the virus, grow more powerful until you have destroyed every file in the system.How It WorksYou control a breaker that slowly hits and destroys files which bytes are fed to the virus. The more files your destroy the more bytes you get. The more bytes you get the more upgrades you get. The more upgrades you get the different types of files you unlock to destroy which will earn you more bytes.Progression &amp; UpgradesThe upgrade system is laid out as a circuit-board tech tree — a closed clockwise loop with PCB-style diagonal traces and animated data pulses flowing between nodes. Upgrades get progressively more expensive, As you advance through tiers, the visual identity of your virus evolves with new colour progressions and shader effects.Milestones &amp; The EndgameProgression is structured around milestone events that mark major corruption thresholds. Each milestone triggers a fanfare and unlocks the next phase of infection. A complete run takes a couple hours of active play, or less. A Demo Build Is AvailableA free demo lets you experience the early progression loop with a subset of the upgrade tree before purchasing.Key Features<ul class="bb_ul"><li>3D orbiting file system — files circle a central sphere</li><li>Circuit-board upgrade tree — a closed-loop tech tree with animated PCB traces and data pulses</li><li>Milestone-driven progression — major thresholds unlock new phases and trigger events</li><li>A definitive ending — this isn't an endless clicker; there's a final system-ending sequence</li><li>Steam achievements</li><li>Save/load system</li></ul>Genre: Incremental / Strategy Average playtime: 1–2 hours to full completion Input: Mouse only
