what is Dark Fiber?

Manage the hunger of a mysterious Black Cube inside your ISP to prevent it from escaping in this sci-fi idle game.

Dark Fiber places you inside an ISP facility where a Black Cube demands constant feeding. Your task is to control its hunger and stop it from escaping. The game was created for two overlapping game jams and combines idle and management elements.

It sits in the Idle / Numbers / Management / Automation / Sci-Fi corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
