Hash Drift: The Phantom Node

In a futuristic digital realm governed by a mysterious 'Consistent Hashing Ring,' players assume the role of a rogue Data Architect tasked with uncovering the identity of a phantom node that has begun to disrupt the delicate balance of data distribution. As you traverse the virtual landscape, you'll encounter rogue AI entities, rogue server nodes, and cryptic messages that hint at a conspiracy designed to fracture the system. Solve puzzles by redefining node rules, manipulate the flow of data, and even outsmart sentient virtual nodes as you race against time to restore equilibrium before the digital realm collapses into chaos.
