RottenNet
A downloadable tool for Windows
The Last Network in a Broken World
Welcome to RottenNet — no longer just a launcher, but a survival command hub for a shattered reality.
In a world devoured by the aftermath of the TZ-10 outbreak and the authoritarian grip of the Coalition of Survivor Control (CSC), RottenNet rises as a beacon of defiance. What began as the nerve center for Rotten Dawn’s resistance has evolved into a multi-game launcher and mod-friendly platform — now home to games by Rotten Dawn Studios and fellow developers rising from the ashes.
This isn’t just a tool. It’s a rebellion.
⚙️ Core Features
🎮 Multi-Game Launcher
Install, manage, and launch games from Rotten Dawn Studios and independent developers within the RottenNet ecosystem.
🔁 Auto-Updates for Games & Launcher
Real-time manifest-driven updates ensure your tools of survival are always ready. Download only what’s changed — faster, lighter, smarter.
🔒 Security at the Core

📦 Manifest-Based Update Protocol
Structured manifest files enable secure, consistent, and efficient patching across all titles — a vital system in an unstable world.
🧪 What’s Next (2025 Roadmap)
🖥 Terminal Access (In Progress)
Log into the encrypted RottenNet command line. Create user profiles, explore hidden lore, decrypt secrets, and bypass CSC firewalls using real terminal-style commands.
🧩 Mod Support

🌐 Marketplace Integration
Trade gear, sell scavenged items, and barter blueprints in a post-collapse economy.
⭐ Game Rating System
Rate and review titles in the launcher to help fellow survivors find the tools they need.
🧭 Why RottenNet?
RottenNet is more than a launcher — it's the last digital resistance node in a world designed to keep you silent. Every login is an act of defiance. Every game you play is part of the bigger story.
This project was born from trauma, injustice, and forced separation — but it became a tool for healing, creativity, and purpose. As the resistance expands, so does RottenNet’s role in giving you agency over your survival, your community, and your future.
"Even the darkest night ends with dawn."
