Japan, 1995. The age of dial-up tones and flickering CRTs—where crime hides behind neon signs and encrypted screens. You’re a hacker for RedLantern, the country’s most notorious deep web marketplace. Guns, drugs, bodies, forbidden tech—if it’s illegal, it’s sold here. And you’re the one who keeps it alive in the shadows.
Your boss orders you to vanish to a remote village in the snowy mountains of Hokkaido. There’s a safehouse there—your new prison and your only refuge. By day, you dig through digital trails, chasing down traitors, missing shipments, and secrets too dangerous to leave alive. By night, you listen for footsteps outside your locked windows.
Your only weapon is your old PC. Memory fragments, cryptic commands, maps scribbled with half-truths—your life depends on solving what others want buried. Every mission you take keeps your balance in the black—and your blood off the floor.
But there’s no safety here.
The Doc—a phantom in a medical mask—hunts down anyone tied to RedLantern, slipping into homes like a ghost with a scalpel. And somewhere in the dark, The Agent is watching your every keystroke, tracing your signal back to your fragile cabin in the snow.
Lock the doors. Keep the windows shut. Hide when you have to—and pray it’s enough.
