Absorber: Absorb Adapt Survive

About the Game

Absorber is a turn-based tactical roguelike where you play a digital consciousness fighting through a corrupted mainframe, one 7×7 grid at a time. Defeat enemies and absorb them to steal their abilities, stack synergies across 240+ programs, and fight through 12+ increasingly hostile sectors to reach the core. Die once, and it's over every run starts from nothing.

Every move matters. Every resource counts. Every death is permanent.
