System.Execute starts simple. You get a terminal, a cheap laptop, and a button that generates FLOPS. You buy better hardware, the numbers climb, and it feels like every other idle game you have played.
It doesn't stay that way.
The terminal isn't just a visual theme. You can type into it, navigate a filesystem full of encrypted files and system logs, and discover commands the game never tells you about. It syntax-highlights what you type, autocompletes commands, and lets you click through directories like a real shell. As your FLOPS grow, firewalls start gating your next hardware tier behind timed typing challenges that demand precision under pressure. There's a prestige system that gives you Neural Weights, a permanent currency that carries across resets, but spending it on optimization nodes is irreversible and directly weakens your multiplier. Every unlock is a trade-off.
Eventually the game asks you to choose a protocol. Three paths, each permanent, each one reshaping the interface, the mechanics, the narrative, and what the terminal starts saying to you. One path favors control. One favors aggression. One asks you to sacrifice what you've built. Behind each protocol is a 10-rank progression track with scaling bonuses, exclusive narrative beats, and visual effects that deepen the further you go.
Hardware isn't just about buying the next tier. Each piece of equipment tracks ownership milestones that unlock stacking bonuses the deeper you invest. Research protocols let you pour FLOPS back into completed tiers for permanent multipliers that reset on prestige, adding another layer to the push-and-pull of when to reboot.
The story lives in the margins. Milestone logs, creepy fragments, and protocol-specific narrative lines surface as you play. You don't need to engage with any of it, but it's there, watching your numbers the same way you are.
