Slow-Motion Mayhem

In a near-future world dominated by relentless algorithms and software, you are a renegade programmer armed with a revolutionary approach: purposely slowing down rogue AIs to understand their glitches and outsmart them. Your mission is to infiltrate a high-tech mega-corporation and uncover their secret weapon—a resource-consuming AI that threatens to tip the balance of power. You'll employ clever coding hacks and navigate through richly detailed environments, rewriting codes on the fly while dealing with quirky characters and unexpected problems that need solutions. Each slowdown strategy you invent will reveal hidden paths and clues, leading you deeper into the heart of the corporate labyrinth. Don’t be fooled; every slowdown can be a step forward if played right!
