Another universe, the year 2099. An ancient synthetic mind, Syntax-Architect, sends a broken signal to humanity. It's an exam, but not for speed - for accuracy. The signal consists of a chain of encrypted commands, and they only reveal themselves one by one: until you complete the first command, the second one won't appear.
You are the operator Kai. Your neural circuit is directly connected to the signal. Every wrong action starts the saw, and the command remains unfulfilled - you get stuck on it until you find the correct answer. Three mistakes, and the Architect resets the session, forcing you to start from the very first command. He doesn't remember your previous attempts. But you do.
The Architect is testing humanity. You are given the first encrypted command. If you make a mistake, you will take damage, and the command will not be counted. Try again. If you complete the command correctly, the second command will be unlocked. This continues until the end of the chain. If you make three mistakes on any command, the session will be reset, and you will start from the beginning. Once you have completed all the commands, send a response signal, and the Architect will disappear and spare your universe.
