About This Game
You are new_user, trapped. The only way out is through the machines but nothing works.
Hard Chip is a 3D simulation and puzzle game where you design a real processor from scratch. No abstraction layers. No drag-and-drop logic blocks. You start with the foundation, the transistor and you build up from there.
BUILD FROM THE GATE UP
Wire complementary transistors into NAND and NOR gates. Combine gates into components. Combine components into circuits. By the end, you will have designed a working 8-bit ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) by hand, from silicon principles.
ASSEMBLE INCREMENTALLY
Combine your gates into larger, more sophisticated parts. Each assembly is a puzzle, demanding not just intelligence but creativity, planning, and foresight.
GROUNDED IN PHYSICS. NO SHORTCUTS.
Every wire has length. Every gate has delay. Your design is only as fast as its slowest path. Propagation delay is not a stat, it is a consequence you have to engineer around.
A STRANGE WORLD THAT DEMANDS WORKING CHIPS
The terminals are dead. The machines are silent. Figure out why, one gate at a time.
