Puzzle, Action 2019 Single player Hardcore

Thirteen seconds to live, and a ghost that remembers the way

xx142-b2.exe gameplay: a magenta player triangle part way up a bright blue wireframe corridor, a cyan hexagon marking the level exit ahead of it, and behind it a dim red ghost triangle from an earlier life resting on a lit green switch pad, with the countdown at ten in the bottom left corner.

About xx142-b2.exe

xx142-b2.exe is a WebGL infiltration game in which every life lasts exactly thirteen seconds before the alien antivirus deletes you. Each attempt is replayed as a ghost afterwards, and because the switches that power the doors are momentary, the way past a locked gate is to have an earlier life stand on its switch while you walk through. Eight levels end at the alien memory core.
