In a near-future dystopia where digital privacy has crumbled, you play as a rogue security researcher who stumbles upon undisclosed exploits in various popular software (like ffmpeg) while developing your own project. As you dive deeper into the dark web, you must navigate through hacker enclaves, corporate espionage, and shadowy criminal organizations. You'll interact with other eccentric characters, use your coding skills to solve riddles and challenges, and make strategic choices that affect the outcome of your investigation while trying to avoid detection by powerful entities that want to keep these vulnerabilities hidden.
