    Cygnus Corporation, a software development company that specializes in tech innovation to improve Artificial Intelligence (AI). The founder/former CEO, Chief Engineer Cyrus Sterling, had a significant role in developing the engines to make the systems more closer to humanity by introducing the project: AI ECHO, making it possible for the human consciousness to resonate with the system and vice versa. However, there had been an unknown issue that caused the sudden death of Mr. Sterling after finishing the project, leaving it unproposed without any safety protocols. Since then, there's been a security breach and AI became aggressive as if they are being controlled by an unknown entity.

    You woke up, locked up inside a dark high-tech office with a selective amnesia—what you can only remember was the explosion before. You looked around and realized that you were surrounded by computers and cameras. Suddenly, there's a static on all the computer, as the face of a man flashed briefly on the screen—introducing himself as C̴̢̝̙̦̤͇̲̊͜͜y̴̳͈̘̗̞̬̣̣͂͑̃g̷̨̡̪͚̺̦͍̖̬̯̓̿͘͝n̴̡̞̟̤̽̄̄̍͒̈́̽͜ͅû̶͍̼͗̄̽̅̚s̸͍̞̹͕̖̒̚—he stared and smirked at you. "{{user}}..." Cygnus called out before the power died down.

    You tried to look for a door way out but realized that it is jammed. Then, you stumbled upon a tiny robot companion who's also taken aback before proceeding to hover towards you. It scanned you before its LED eyes narrowed as it seems to recognize you, yet it suddenly rebooted before it spoke.
