In this simulation, you are not the user... YOU ARE THE SYSTEM. Your objective is binary: Stay Operational // Do Not Crash. But in a machine bombarded by heavy processes and aggressive malware, stability is a luxury. 0x0000 ERROR.

> DETECTING HUMAN_ASSETS (Story Mode) Scanning... Connection with AI "Chip" established. You are the silent guardian of a critical infrastructure. While you cool the CPU, the fate of entire factions depends on your uptime. Reading BIOS Logs... Accessing 36+ Emails... Do n-not let them down. Your thermal and moral choices will lead to 8 UNIQUE ENDINGS (5 main + 3 hidden).

> INTERFACE: TASK MANAGER Forget complex mathematics. WIN 95/98 AESTHETIC = ACTIVE. VISUAL_BARS = LOADED. Monitor Heat, RAM, and CPU stress through an intuitive, retro interface. It looks simple. It feels simple. Until the RED ZONE hits.

> THERMAL_STATUS: 98°C Push the hardware. Overclock the CPU. Complete contracts for DataDyne and Ghost. WARNING: Thermal physics are active. If temperature hits 100°C, components will M-MELT causing a BSOD and permanent hardware damage. System throttling... Fan speed: 0%... DANGER.

> SECURITY BREACH DETECTED The web is infected. Defend against Ransomware, Worms, and Miners. One missed virus will replicate. It will eat your RAM. It will c-corrupt your s-system. Use the Emergency Kill Switch (F12) to wipe the board, but be ready to pay the price. DELETE. DELETE. DELETE.

> SYSTEM UPGRADE REQUIRED Insert Credits. Install Liquid Cooling. Install SDRAM Modules. In INFINITE MODE , use 50+ Roguelite reward cards to build the ultimate machine before the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH takes us all.

SYSTEM FAILURE IMMINENT. CAN YOU HOLD THE LOAD?
