'''Girls' Frontline: Neural Cloud''' or '''Neural Cloud''', known as 少女前线:云图计划 or 云图计划 in Simplified Chinese, 雲圖計劃 in Traditional Chinese, 뉴럴 클라우드 in Korean, and ニューラルクラウド in Japanese, is a roguelike strategy game from [[Sunborn]] and a spin-off to [[Girls' Frontline]].

'''Girls' Frontline: Neural Cloud''' or '''Neural Cloud''', known as 少女前线:云图计划 or 云图计划 in Simplified Chinese, 雲圖計劃 in Traditional Chinese, 뉴럴 클라우드 in Korean, and ニューラルクラウド in Japanese, is a roguelike strategy game from [[Sunborn]] and a spin-off to [[Girls' Frontline]]. The player, as [[the Professor]], must lead a group of Dolls called the Exiled in a digital world called [[Magrasea]] and save them from deletion by the [[Sanctifier]]s. Each Doll has their own abilities, upgrade them and build their base. Certain Dolls in Neural Cloud share their identity with characters from Girls' Frontline.

The fact that certain Dolls in Project Neural Cloud are versions of Dolls from Girls' Frontline who diverged in 2060 gives rise to a question: What will happen if the Dolls trapped in the Magrasea backup manage to escape? Though the topic has not been discussed in the story yet, the Professor mentions in Moonseeking Resurgence 3-3 that they are certain {{hero_name|Luna|Specialist|3}} will eventually get to meet with her mercenary lookalike in the physical world ({{doll name|K5|HG|4}}).

Each Algorithm comes in a 1x2 or a 1x1 shape. Both shapes increase one Main Attribute but the 1x2 has two Substats, while the 1x1 only has one Substat. Algorithms are stored in the Algorithm Warehouse and can be equipped in available Slots. Moreover, Algorithms of purple and orange quality come in Algorithm Sets, and activate Set Effects when used at the same time. The Main Attribute of assigned Algorithms is made more effective by enhancing the Doll's Algorithm Efficiency at a max of 2.0x and is increased by using Algorithm Boosters or spending unneeded Algorithms (Algorithms can also be Decomposed to make materials used in the Processing plant building). Algorithm substats can also increase up to orange quality and are acquired/rerolled through the use of Reconfiguration Generators or with another Algorithm of the same type and slot.

The Intimacy level of Dolls increase through battle or with gifts, gaining attribute buffs and new personal information up to level 15. Costumes are called "Projections" in this game. Alternate Projections of a Doll's base artwork are unlocked with Neural Expansions while themed costumes must be bought in the shop with Projection Vouchers which are bought with Quartz or acquired rarely through certain in-game rewards. Basic costumes only give a still illustration and 3D chibi, while others can have animated illustrations, interactive [[Live2D]] and unique voices. Some Neural Cloud projections introduce fan-service Live2D interactions like removable tights or flippable skirts (the game is rated 16+ under China's Audio-video and Digital Publishing Association (CADPA)).

The player starts with five Dolls: [[Persicaria]], [[Sol]], [[Croque]], [[Fresnel]], and [[Mai]]. More Dolls can be acquired through the Neural Search gacha (requires the Search Terminal building). Basic Search is performed with Basic Search Commands that are produced in the Oasis and mostly yields [[PNC Items|items]] rather than Dolls. Advanced Search, on the other hand, uses Advanced Search Commands that are bought from the shop or acquired from in-game rewards and includes a pity system of one 3-star Doll guaranteed every 60 searches with the rateup doll being redeemable at 180 searches. In the Advanced Search at launch, 1-star Dolls have a combined drop rate of 78.4%, 2-stars 18% and 3-stars 3.6%. Some “welfare” Dolls like [[Sockdolager]], [[Uranus]] and [[Horizon]] can be unlocked by playing limited-time events.

When "the Professor" enters Magrasea, they find that the Dolls of Project Neural Cloud have been expelled from their original sector during the Wipe-off Incident and have been designated Irregular Agents by the [[Sanctifier]]s who aim to destroy them. To shelter the Dolls now calling themselves the Exiles, the real Professor created a new sector called the Oasis and built the Sandbox Barrier to protect them as they searched for a way back to the real world.

The outfits of multiple Dolls, including [[Angela]], [[Willow]], [[Zion]], and [[Florence]] were made less revealing between the CN betas and final release. Multiple Dolls and costumes were censored on the CN server after an update on 30 March 2023, including [[Croque]], [[Daiyan]], [[Hubble]], [[Millau]], [[Panakeia]], [[Turing]], [[Rise]], and [[Yelena]].<ref>[https://m.weibo.cn/status/MzycKaGy7 Weibo]</ref> Later censor waves did not redraw artworks, but simply added white lines over cleavages and buttocks, the same method used on their social media pictures.
