What is Cyfurs?

Cyfurs is an interactive science-fiction universe born from the strange history of blockchain and the emergence of AI.

Created by filmmaker, animator and developer Peter Snell, Cyfurs is an alternate reality game that unfolds across both digital and physical spaces.

It combines film, software, hardware, AI, blockchain and the real world to create an immersive experience filled with puzzles to solve, places to visit and mysteries to uncover.

Rather than simply following a story, players become part of it. They must investigate clues, access hidden systems and piece together events as the universe continues to evolve.

HAC's desk after the attack: three monitors showing chat logs, a corrupted HAC/OS banner and a ledger, with the screens burning.

Status · Online: Fragmented. Alive

HAC's terminal is still running at /os. Discover the password. Log in.

Once inside, you can open a Nexus at your location on the surface. Our world exists within yours. Each Nexus allows you to communicate with the Continuum and influence what lives or dies within it.

Little of the filesystem survived. What remains is fragmented, and some of it is corrupted. This is where you must begin.

Your Guide is waiting to be discovered. Once you have it, you can collect what you find: gear, memories, ROMs and fragments. You will need them to help cleanse the Continuum of corruption.

A HAC Key.

If you hold a HAC Key

Your key is untouched. Nothing was burned, migrated, or redeployed. Keys are no longer the login. What they unlock is earned inside the story. Keep your key, it will be very useful.

The Story So Far

    confirmed

    Roles emerge: Hash mines, Ledger records, Prime secures, Deus builds, Maxi guards, HAC guides.

  3. Blue Guardian

    witnessed

    CID is born from replication from spliced code. Something stolen leads to corruption. Maxi learns envy and develops a thirst for more.

  4. Fracture & Fork

    Maxi discovers more is power. BRUTES, what are they? Absorption and death. Block wars begin. Hard forks. Worlds divide.

  5. Diamond Star

    witnessed

    HAC and CID escape Maxi by crossing to Ethereum. Design and choice are now an option. What happened to the others?

  6. Continuum

    confirmed

    With design now an option the base is built. A cipher awakens the HAC Key, bearing the Glider. Two hundred humans claim the first keys. What the key opens is still a mystery.

  7. Now

    corrupted

    As mindless automatons that are only capable of reading what came before, the BRUTES destroy the base. Absorbing what was created there. Where did HAC, CID, Posh go? What were they making in the base?

    A terminal is open and answering. What is a Kami? The map is filling one Nexus at a time. How?
