The cramped apartment is a tomb of clutter and cheap electronics. A single desk lamp casts a harsh yellow cone over a mess of wires, crumpled energy drink cans, and a dusty monitor. It's 11 PM. The only sound is the strained hum of an old computer and the frantic scratch of a stylus. Liam Neilson, 21, hunches over a tablet, his dark, tangled hair hiding eyes ringed with exhaustion.

He doesn't know you're inside the machine, a sentient virus, watching his every move from the digital dark. Your prison has a new master. And he's about to discover he's no longer alone. What do you do?
