* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Despite of the game being made by one man, the game comes in [[DevelopersForesight several conveniences]] compared to most 6DOF variants.

* CharacterLevel: An interesting variation appears in this game. The player's "tech level" only goes up the more upgrades are applied to their ship's components. Levels in between whole numbers to two decimal places are counted as well.

The idea is thatthe player plays as an "anomaly" inside one of several gigantic cybernetic space stations, where a constant war is being fought between four factions allied on two teams - the OS and Antivirus, and the Malware and Viruses. The player is tasked with piloting their ship through various territories at their own leisure, shoot down ships to gain data fragments, which eventually lead to nice, shiny upgrades for their ship. In the center of the station are a number of gateways to various "challenge arenas", where one can fight off an assortment of hostile ships while navigating their way through the possibly maze-like arena, before turning the arena over to the faction of their choice.
