In 'Codebound Chronicles', you step into the boots of Mac, a rogue software architect in a dystopian future where the mainframes of society are run by a tight-lipped corporate overlord—IBM. After inadvertently cracking the Machine Interface (MI) used by these massive systems, you uncover a web of encrypted secrets that could topple the digital empire. As you navigate a labyrinth of code, subroutines, and security measures, players must solve mind-bending puzzles related to memory safety and expoits to defeat rogue AI, corrupt security protocols, and rival hackers. Your choices will reshape the balance of power in a world ruled by binary understanding. Each decision can result in devastating consequences or unforeseen alliances with quirky tech rebels.
