Flux

Flux combines interactive fiction with mini-games in which you type, fight, organize and fidget to manage speed and volume and earn in-game credits for cosmetics. Its activities range from chill to twitch-based play, and each game mode is treated as a job that advances time by one day. Modes have a Flux value representing volume and speed, which can rise or fall depending on the activity.

Wanderer and Mulberry

Wanderer, an ex-military courier, spends nights joyriding and flying through a sprawling cyberpunk city. They work opposite shifts from their long-distance flame, Mulberry, and exchange messages as one wakes and the other goes to bed. Through their stories, you learn more about them and encounter mysteries that remain open-ended. You can also text Mulberry, listen to the news, interact with the surroundings and talk with locals to discover more about the characters and world.

Jobs and mini-games

The jobs offer different kinds of play and objectives, each with its own pace:

• Freestyle: Set your own rhythm, reflect and zone out to the beat in a fidget-style game.
• Challenge: Press randomly selected letters from A to Z, testing your awareness of their positions on the keyboard.
• Spelling: Type complete words to increase your Flux.
• Glyph: Use the arrow keys to rotate objects on the right until they match the positions of objects on the left.
• Rash+Slash: Cut through incoming enemy robots with your katana.
• Assault: Survive waves of robots and enemy soldiers equipped with special attacks and a variety of weapons.
• Mecha: Play a Freestyle-like activity in the open skies above the city.
• Armament: Defend the skies with your Mech airship and take out incoming robots with its blasters.

Music and customization

The game includes an 80s chillwave soundtrack by Quantum Dylan, and you can replace its music files with your own MP3 tracks. You earn credits through play and spend them on outfits, helmets, hairstyles and body augments. The game is built in Flash.
