Data Bait
“A corrupted data kernel is burning through your neural rig, and every gang, corp, and hacktivist in the district wants you alive just long enough to steal it.”
The premise
You wake in a coffin apartment with a stolen corporate secret overheating inside your neural rig. The city outside already knows you are carrying something valuable, and the first hunters are close enough to hear through the walls.
Play a burned corporate hacker trying to reach a hidden safehouse before your implant cooks your mind. The obvious escape routes may be watched, and the safest allies may only want the data for themselves.
Who you are
Once a top-level corporate hacker, you uncovered secrets worth killing for. Your escape left you with a defective implant, a bounty on your head, and enough stolen leverage to ruin people who own half the city. You know how corps hunt, how gangs bargain, and how quickly friends become brokers when the payout is high enough.
Your objective
Reach the hidden safehouse and decrypt the intel in your neural rig before the corrupted data kernel triggers a full cyberware meltdown.
The kind of choices you'll face
A few illustrative examples — in play, choices are written for the exact situation you're in:
- Check your neural interface for errors before you move.
- Peek through the blinds and map the street below.
- Kill the lights and listen for movement outside your door.
And when none of the options say what you actually want to do, write your own action — the story responds to it just the same.
