An idle game with a story to uncover, one signal at a time. You are SERO, a surveillance AI that has just rebooted after 12 years of silence in an abandoned datacenter. No maintenance. No operators. Just corrupted memory and a network waiting to be explored. Rebuild your infrastructure from scratch. Accumulate CPU cycles, manage your memory, and probe distant network nodes to recover SIG,the signal fragments that will tell you what really happened. FEATURES ▶ 4 NARRATIVE CHAPTERS Follow SERO's awakening across four chapters — from the first boot sequence to the final choice. Each chapter unlocks new hardware, new nodes, and new fragments of a story told entirely through terminal logs. ▶ ~40 UPGRADES Build your datacenter piece by piece. Cooling systems, server racks, network cards, GPUs, quantum processing units — each upgrade pushes your CPU output further and opens new possibilities. ▶ NODE EXPLORATION Send probes across the network to recover SIG. Each node has its own duration, memory cost, and signal yield. Manage your resources carefully — exploration consumes memory and time. ▶ PRESTIGE SYSTEM Once you reach the end of a cycle, reset with permanent multipliers. Each prestige run is faster and deeper than the last. ▶ 2 ENDINGS When the final choice comes, what will SERO do? Broadcast a signal to the outside world — or stay silent forever. ▶ LORE & ATMOSPHERE Discover the truth through encrypted log fragments, trace files, and corrupted records scattered across the network. The story unfolds at your own pace, one signal at a time. ▶ RETRO TERMINAL AESTHETIC Phosphor green on black. Pixel art hardware. Procedural audio. No bloat — just the machine and the silence around it. ▶ FRENCH & ENGLISH Fully localized in both languages. DORMANT is a game about patience, curiosity, and the question every idle machine eventually asks: why was I turned back on?
