EchoLink: Recursion is an active incremental, cyberpunk hacking simulation where every breach makes you stronger, and every reset makes you faster.

You're a hacker sent back through time to uncover a conspiracy that keeps collapsing history. You start in the 1990s with just a dial-up modem, a terminal, and your wits before you advance to the neural megacities of 2150.

Hack → upgrade → automate → bigger hack → reset stronger.

At the beginning, you do everything manually. Crack networks one keystroke at a time, run missions, scrape together enough creds for your first real upgrade. Then your second. Then a script that handles tasks for you. Then a crew running side jobs with you. Then an AI automating your hacking skills.

Unleash Devastating Payloads

When stealth doesn't cut it, you go loud. Deploy devastating neural viruses, build proxy chains, and automate your entire operation while enemy factions deploy their own viruses and ice sentinels to hunt you down. Watch a hostile network just… stop existing.

Huge Meta-Progression Tree (it's not even it's final form)

When the timeline finally collapses (and it will), you keep what you learned. A meta-progression tree with hundreds of nodes means every reset peels off a new layer. By the end you're not really hacking systems anymore—you're hacking time itself.
