A downloadable game

HARDENED-CORE UNIVERSAL — Solo Edition v3.0. The culmination. 🔥


Forty pages. Full-bleed art. Zero mercy. The complete solo mech-combat RPG, rebuilt from everything we've learned.


How it works:

🎲 Your AI is the game console. The disc is the universe. You talk in plain words — describe what your pilot does, like telling a story. No commands, no syntax. The game happens.

🌌 Every campaign is a unique universe — no two share canon. Infinite possibilities, one set of iron rules.

⚔️ Visceral mech combat. Real dice, openly rolled. Every hit lands somewhere — armor spalls, coolant boils, legs come off. It hits like a hammer.

💀 Permadeath is real. Sanctioned fights end in knockout — but out in the dark, when your core hits zero, you roll the ejection. Nat 20 walks away. Nat 1 is dead. Death is permanent for the pilot; the player returns as a new soul.

🌍 A living world on dice — factions scheme, markets spike and crash, wars close sectors, rivals steal contracts off the board whether you're watching or not.

👻 Your ghost rides with you. And at Tier 5... the universe has secrets. Earn them.


$12. One pilot. Everything on the line.
