The server is overwhelmed by corrupted files, and it's up to you to restore order. Build an automated system, earn resources, and upgrade your network. As you play, you will naturally learn the basics of programming and problem-solving in a calm neon atmosphere.
Code Nodes
Steam
Raw files keep pouring into your server. Some are broken, some are infected, and some are barely holding together. You start bringing order by placing nodes on a grid and assigning each one a small task script. Nothing complicated - simple rules that gradually grow into a real system.
The in-game pseudo-language is designed to introduce the basics of programming and logical thinking without overwhelming you. As you get comfortable with it, you will start to understand key principles that can be useful outside the game too.
Code Nodes is not about endless power grinding, but about solving problems, optimizing workflows, and building systems.

You will restore the files that arrive on the server, sell them back to the company, and use the earned resources to expand your system. The perk tree unlocks new options and helps you handle increasingly complex tasks.

Play and think in a calm neon atmosphere with relaxing music, watching your system grow and start working on its own. You will have to move fast - management always expects results. That is something you will have to accept.
