VYLEWARE 91 is a fast-paced action roguelite set inside a corrupted operating system that should have been erased decades ago. Explore procedurally assembled directories, destroy grotesque software processes, uncover hidden subdirectories, and build increasingly unstable combinations of weapons, upgrades, protocols, bombs, and forbidden programs.

You play as the Caretaker, an original character designed by B3R7LIVES: a hovering maintenance unit equipped with a single blaster and tasked with repairing a system that appears to be alive. As the Caretaker travels deeper into VYLEWARE, abandoned software begins mutating into hostile creatures, interface elements become increasingly unreliable, and the distinction between computer error and supernatural corruption starts to disappear.

Each run offers new room layouts, branching paths, enemy encounters, Signal Cores, item combinations, locked caches, rare discoveries, and powerful build possibilities. Break through damaged architecture, search for keycards, open bomb-sealed passages, defeat corrupted system guardians, and decide how far you are willing to destabilize the program in exchange for greater power.
