THE ARK IS DYING. YOU ARE WHAT IS LEFT OF ITS IMMUNE SYSTEM.

You are WARDEN-9, the last uncorrupted security daemon aboard Ark Prime, a derelict orbital data-vault. A parasitic signal called the Blight is consuming the Ark sector by sector, turning archived processes into hostile constructs. Your directive: purge every wave, harvest the memory shards of the fallen, and descend toward the Core to find out what woke it up.

NULL SECTOR is a twin-stick arena roguelite. Every wave you clear lets you salvage one of three random modules — split cannons, phase rounds, ricochet cores, attack drones, aegis shields and more. Every fifth wave, a Warden-class corruption guards the gate to the next sector. Three sectors stand between you and the Core. Survive them, and the endless Overflow begins.

FEATURES

- Build-crafting roguelite: 15 stackable modules, drafted one per wave — every run plays differently

- 3 handcrafted sectors with distinct palettes, enemy rosters and bosses, then an endless Overflow mode with scaling difficulty

- Pure code, zero assets: all graphics are drawn live on canvas, all audio (including the looping synthwave soundtrack) is synthesized in real time with the Web Audio API

- The music reacts to combat: the filter opens as the arena fills

- Screenshake, hitstop, slow motion, CRT scanlines — full juice

- The whole game is a single HTML file. No download, no install, no login.
