Overview

About this game

With only 5 minutes left until the deadline, the real nightmare has just begun.

You play as Jian Xun, a 25-year-old scriptwriter drowning in deadline anxiety. Every time you wake up in your cramped, cyberpunk-style room, the piercing mechanical alarm clock is dead set at 11:55. This is not just high-pressure occupational anxiety; it's a life-and-death struggle for the dominance of consciousness.

The game progresses by alternating between "Reality" and "Script."

At first, you simply follow the plot to get the job done. But soon, you'll discover that your computer document has gained self-awareness. Not only does it automatically correct your wording, but it also attempts to completely take over your creation. Faced with collapsing laws of physics and a ghost keyboard typing on its own, you must find clues to break the loop under extreme pressure.

"Keyframe Sorting Gameplay"

In this tug-of-war, obeying the rules is a dead end. Enter the computer screen and confront the system's challenges head-on. Obtain scattered "keyframe silhouette fragments" and drag them into the correct order through rigorous logical deduction.

Uncover the Truth of the World

When the false "perfect morning" arrives, you will touch upon the cruel secret at the bottom of the world: Are you really a living human who stumbled into a dream? Or are you merely "painful sample data" generated by an AI to simulate creativity?
