Code.Breaker()

Code.Breaker() is a cyberpunk visual novel set in a world ruled by corporations. You play a hacker whose carefully built life is threatened when an anonymous sender reveals a secret from your past.

The world of 2083

In the Free City-State of Seattle, augmentations are commonplace, and most people have a brain-computer interface. Sentient Androids live alongside genetically modified humans and cybernetically enhanced people. Corporations fight over their bottom lines, making the city a hotspot for “Ronin”: modern-day mercenaries who do dirty work for whoever can pay, usually corporations.

Your past catches up

You work for Akiyama CyberTech as a “Network Security Expert,” tasked with protecting the Seattle branch office from outside intrusion and maintaining the building’s network security. The position is mostly ceremonial, fulfilling legally required human quotas, and you got it through nepotism. You were born without citizenship in the slums of Redmond and developed your skills in the underground hacking scene. When an anonymous sender threatens the life you have built by revealing your secret, you must try to take back control.

Hacking and investigation

You hack into systems by solving puzzles quickly, and play through an office story in which you defend yourself from the shadows of your past. You can talk to colleagues and friends, make decisions that matter, and point and click on items in the backgrounds to learn more about your surroundings.
