Compile: Main 2
Two AIs, three Protocols each, and a race to Compile before your opponent turns your own cards against you.
Who it's for
Two-player card game fans who enjoy sharp tactical duels with deep card-interaction and a distinctive sci-fi theme.
Not for you if…
You want a relaxed, low-interaction game — Compile is built around constant disruption and direct confrontation between two players.
Vibe's take
Sharp and reactive — every card played can be countered, twisted, or stolen, so games feel like a fast-moving chess match where reading your opponent's Protocol combo matters more than sticking to a fixed plan.
About this game
Compile: Main 2 pits two artificial intelligences against each other, each racing to master three chosen Protocols before the other can hijack their plans.
