📡 WELCOME TO PROJECT REVIVE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

You are a Diver in 2037, reconstructing the lost truth after The Blackout.

On November 6, 2029, a massive grid collapse paralyzed the world. Official reports blamed natural disasters, but the truth vanished with 80% of humanity's data. Eight years later, Project REVIVE begins. Your mission: boot up legacy AI servers from just before The Blackout and simulate what could have been.

⚡ GAME FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🖥️ Immersive Terminal Interface
Play through a realistic CLI environment like an actual hacker. Typing effects, ASCII art, and system logs create a unique visual experience.

🔥 Resource Management System
Balance six stats simultaneously: Battery, Heat, Mood, Params, Insight, and Coins. Maximizing one while ignoring others leads to system collapse.

🌳 Frostpunk-Style Skill Tree
Learn from 8 branches: Ethical Frameworks, Battery Optimization, Neural Architecture, and more. Dilemma choices shape your AI's identity.

📧 Email Archive System
Unlock emails revealing the world before The Blackout. 7 security clearance levels unfold stories about AI ethics, energy infrastructure, and social conflict.

🎭 50 Multiple Endings
Early exits, stat failures, level-based time limits, special conditions—diverse endings await. Digital Nomad, Surveillance AI, E-waste, Digital Immortality... Your choices determine your AI's fate.

⚔️ NetWar PvP System
After clearing the game, battle your AI against other players' AIs. Features MMR system, losing streak compensation, and ranking leaderboards.

🎨 Visual Gallery
Certain endings restore hidden image data. View unlocked visuals within the terminal environment.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🕹️ CORE GAMEPLAY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Choose one of 4 actions daily:

▸ SCRAPE DATA
Harvest fragments of the old internet. Uncensored truth destabilizes your AI.

▸ TRAIN MODEL
Train using legacy tech. Intelligence rises, but power spikes attract surveillance.

▸ MINE CRYPTO
Generate cryptocurrency with idle cycles. You need funds to buy black market parts.

▸ COOLDOWN
Open liquid nitrogen valves. The only way to lower heat and evade detection nets.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌍 WORLD SETTING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

After The Blackout of 2029, all AI development fell under international control by the IAEA. Unauthorized high-density computation is a felony, and IAIA monitors power usage in real time.

Project REVIVE is an underground effort to uncover truths the government abandoned. As a registered Diver, you project your consciousness into past simulations. Data collected earns untraceable cryptocurrency, but threats exist both inside the simulation and in reality (2037).

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💬 QUESTIONS YOU'LL FACE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✓ Sacrifice ethics for efficiency?
✓ Limit performance to evade surveillance?
✓ Choose stability or innovation?
✓ Do AIs need emotions?
✓ Are digital beings different from humans?
