Brok: Hacker's Memory | Guard Ratmulation Resonance Rebirth

Disclaimer: Some assets/redrawn character arts/CGs are made by me. But a majority of the assets (sound effects, backgrounds, character design, etc) are provided by the Brok the InvestiGATOR and Celcius Strays game's resources from both game assets and the VN maker.

This was a prototype project made in less than 2 weeks, engine-wise, that evolved to a full-fledged RPG + Edutainment Math hybrid game. Assets have been accumulated over time. This is a long-form narrative that will be a massive fanservice game to every facet of the Cowcat Universe (from Brok the InvestiGATOR, the Brawl Bar, Celcius Strays, and possibly Demetrios). This game will be completely free due to its nature as a fangame.

Version 1.25 covers massive adjustments to the game content, while inventing new math-style gameplay.  Music has now mostly adjusted and altered with more original compositions (in some areas).

In a reality where Gloom, the Rat Hacker, lives off of hacking illegal tri-web sites, he found a golden opportunity where a "client" approached him and offered the chance for a proper, clean job at the Drums. All he has to do is enter the VR simulation provided and complete some tasks. However, the Gloom intends to rope a drumer, his friend Guard, to get through a loophole.

Now both of them must face the consequences of the Gloom's actions as you number sequence your way through the towers, earn fragments, and earn your right to Drumhood.

However, things may not be as simple and clean as they may seem. Dark deals behind the scenes that alter causality are making their waves within said simulation. And a turbulent change is on the horizon. Will the Guard be able to surmount such an unorthodox wave of change?

Characters:

- Some enemies, familiar and unknown, from Atlasia and even beyond that. However, allies beyond the horizon will aid you in this supernaturally unusual circumstance.

Difficulty

- Three difficulties to choose from. [Relaxed, Standard, and Hardcore] They are selectable before the main battle and will not affect the ending.

• Relaxed will set the enemy's HP values to 1. Journalism difficulty (Numbers will be set to preschool/elementary level questions). For those who prefer to skip the mook battles/don't want to take too long finishing one battle.
• Standard is the normal difficulty 
• Hardcore will be the hardest challenge in terms of damage/sequencing/etc.

New math battle systems that revolve around answering math questions and disorient the enemy with different numbers, requiring far greater critical thinking.

Two Different Routes

- Two different paths that will change the trajectory of the story. One choice is all it takes to butterfly effect completely different outcomes. However, both will be important for what's to come.
