In a corrupted digital world known as Kernel-9, reality is breaking apart after a catastrophic system failure triggered by the Delete Virus.
You play as a rogue user-script — an unauthorized process trapped inside the system — with no weapons, no permissions, and only one advantage: the system clipboard.
In this world, keyboard shortcuts are not inputs — they are powers.
Survive, manipulate corrupted logic, and recover the lost components of the Master Shortcut before reality is fully erased.

Inside the digital sector of Kernel-9, the Master Shortcut has been shattered by the Delete virus, corrupting reality itself.
Players control a rogue user-script capable of:
- copying enemies and objects
- pasting cloned entities into the world
- saving world states
- switching between dimensions
Objective: reconstruct the lost Master Shortcut (C, V, S, Tab) before system deletion completes.
| Key | Mechanic | Description |
|---|---|---|
C |
Copy Strike | Clone projectiles, objects, and enemies into the clipboard |
V |
Paste Summon | Spawn copied entities back into the world |
Z |
Undo | Remove the oldest active paste and recover RAM |
S |
World Save | Save the current world state as a checkpoint |
Tab |
Dimension Switch | Swap between corrupted and clean dimensions |
CTRL follows the player dynamically. Losing connection triggers chaos effects such as:
- gravity may invert
- controls may scramble
- physics becomes unstable
- chaos events are triggered

While the core gameplay is functional, several systems can be expanded or refined in future iterations:
- Add start / main menu screen flow
- Improve clarity of Copy / Paste interactions for new players
- Improve input responsiveness and control feel
- Add clearer visual feedback for clipboard state
- Balance Chaos Events for fair difficulty progression
- Improve UI readability of CTRL connection state
- Reduce excessive randomness in control disruption effects
- Add recovery mechanics beyond simple reconnection
- Optimize entity cloning system for performance stability
- Refactor clipboard logic into modular components
- Improve save/load system reliability across levels
- Improve UI hierarchy for system messages
- Enhance readability of screen distortion effects
- Improve audio feedback consistency for system states
