This allows Nikkes to back up and revive their memories, provided their brain is intact.

    Corruption is a rare scenario where Raptures corrupt Nikkes with code, turning them into mindless puppets, often identified by reddish-pink eyes and distorted speech. Corrupted Nikkes must be terminated by humans using a special-issue pistol since they can't kill themselves and are restricted from attacking each other.
