InterCorruption is an indie turn-based RPG where you must defend Molly (the main character) against corrupted enemies. Battles combine familiar elements like timed button-press attacks with new mechanics: corruption and debugging.
You control Molly, an "NPC" living in a game that was abandoned back in the 90’s and that is now slowly decaying. She speaks directly to you and will need your help to find a way to stop the corruption from spreading. Throughout the adventure, you will be navigating between two worlds: the “normal world” and a scrapped build of the game known as the “Beta world".
During battles, you can make Molly jump, duck, or block attacks (depending on the attack itself). Most of Molly’s attacks inflict more damage when timed correctly.
You must keep Molly’s corruption meter low during battles, or the game will start to glitch and her stats will plummet. If the meter reaches 99%, it’s game over! You can fix errors and reduce her corruption, but that costs “memory points”.
Corruption is inflicted on Molly if she gets hit by corrupted enemies or if she attacks them directly. If an enemy's corruption is too high, you would be better off debugging them.
Debugging enemies takes the form of retro-inspired mini-games. Once in “debug mode” you must reduce the enemy’s corruption as much as possible before the timer expires or Molly’s corruption meter will start to increase rapidly!
