NULL.EXE

About the event

NULL.EXE is an immersive single-player mystery event set in a distorted “NULL Pointer” version of the Thapar campus. Blending sci-fi and horror elements, players step into the role of Vikram to investigate the mysterious death of their friend Dabbu by exploring corrupted locations like the CSED, Library, and Canteen.

Each participant is assigned a fixed “glitch in the system” ending and must race to reach it first by collecting clues, unlocking areas, and navigating hazards like bugs and the Code Ghoul. Focused on speed, observation, and deduction, NULL.EXE transforms a linear narrative into a competitive and intense investigative experience.
