The Root

Information

In The Root you are the only one responsible for the correct use of the root folder of a company server system. In this big company, that can't afford more people for this super important job, security has to be top-notch. So your job will be to accept or discard the requests that you receive.

In your office, you have access to two monitors with several information. You can see the details of the job that wants to be performed on the memory, the actual state of the memory and the specific rules that the company tells you about the requests. Using this information you must determine if the new change is good or, on the other hand, is evil and can carry malware or viruses. But, you must be quick. The requests will keep coming and the buffer is limited. If it reach its maximum, the server will collapse.

In this arcade type, "Papers, Please" inspired, game, the player uses all the tools available to him to accept or dismiss the requests in time. Check information, make decisions and dont let the virus corrupt the root.
