// SYSTEM_OVERVIEW.log
NoRelay is a Drum & Bass project from Barcelona. This terminal is its web presence, but the intention goes beyond an artist page. It is designed to be an immersive entry point into the world behind the project: the once active Relay Network, its story, and the ideas that have been building around it.
If you are reading this, you intercepted the transmission and managed to connect to your closest relay node through the Relay Network Monitor (this webpage). From here you can access the relay's archived data, communicate with others connected to the network, and contribute to keeping this node active.
What that network was, what the name means, and what happened to it, that is part of what this space is here to reveal. There are hidden sections, references, lore, minigames and RPG elements for you to discover, most of them not immediately visible. The plan is to make them discoverable through exploration and collaborative effort, with the community playing an active role in uncovering what is here.
This is still its first stage. The terminal is live and is the best place to connect, ask questions, share findings, and help maintain this relay. Feedback and suggestions are very welcomed, connect to the Terminal and say hi!
