TRAINING DOSSIER // GD-01

HOW THE WAR IS PLAYED

A multiplayer strategy game where three factions fight for dominance over the internet — with real attack and defense tools, on the real web. Every player picks a side by belief, then plays to become the most powerful hacker on the net.

  • PLATFORM: BROWSER
  • MODE: CASUAL / STRATEGY
  • AUDIENCE: SOFT–MID-CORE
  • FACTIONS: THREE
  • STATUS: SEEKING DEVELOPERS

GD.02 — DOCTRINE

What you're
actually playing for

Infect the web

Take control of the web's processing power to supercharge your cyber and hacking tools. Every node you own makes you harder to stop.

Gain power

Deceive, trap, trade, negotiate and conquer your way up through levels of strategic and political power. Reputation is a weapon.

F*ck the system

Use real cryptocurrencies to trade power, reputation, attack and deface tools — even identities. The economy is as live as the war.

MISSION PARAMETERS

  • Expand your territory — take over un-conquered domains and protect them from rival attacks.
  • Increase your influence — gain reputation by defeating players in battle and completing missions.
  • Master the cyber world — develop hacking skills, analyze the network, buy assets for attack and defense.
  • Affect the story — feed the transmedia storyworld through play, fan art, and fan fiction.
  • Dominate the scoreboard — compete for the map and a spot on global and faction leaderboards.
  • Coordinate multiplayer attacks — join forces with your faction to hit rival territory together.
  • Trade with real crypto — convert an edge in tools and reputation into something you actually own.

Run the
simulation

The full game doesn't exist yet — this is the taste. You are the virus. Spread from your seed node, crack the firewalls, dodge the CYDEF patrol, and take the server before your infection is purged.

GD.04 — INTAKE ASSESSMENT

Which operative
are you?

Four doctrines, one net. Whichever faction you swear to, you'll play it your own way — and the design serves all four at once. Log the one that sounds like you.

GD.05 — OPEN PLATFORM

Built to
be extended

Control/0 ships with an API that lets outside developers design entirely new attack and defense modes — anything from Pong to a puzzle to a VR shooter — as long as it plugs into the game's chain and uses its assets.

Developers sell those modes to players to deploy on their own networks. The game stops being a product and becomes a market — and the people building on top of it share directly in its growth.
