The world of Torrent is one of high stakes digital combat. Each player controls a virtual avatar, the digital representation of a hacker in cyberspace. Two teams of hackers fight over three critical data nodes, which are represented by control points that players must capture. However, neither team can retrieve the data while the other is in the way. The goal of each team is to drain the other’s bandwidth and ban them from the server. Only then can they obtain the coveted data that resides within each node.
