You know what they say - never trust a space-snake.

After getting oil change and repairs done on my exo-skeleton, all of my systems are malfunctioning.

My body is doing things on its own. I can't walk without shooting or doing something weird.

What did they do? Leave some digital venom? Expect me to pass out and sell my biochips?

I don't wait. I'm coming down the snake pit. Someone's gonna pay for this.


OverWired is a retro cyberpunk side-scroller game.

You play using only 4 directions (D-PAD or arrows) and the rest of your abilities are wired to those keys due to the digital venom of the snake oil salesmen.

You must finish your quest to restore your space suit to functioning order.


There's a standalone version with some better performance and better audio here (Win, Linux, MacOS):

You should try downloading if the web version isn't running smoothly.
