The neural model OBEN AI VESPER is dying. An interference called NOISE ran through its layers and crossed the wires — wherever they overlap, the model loses memory. You are the datacenter operator. Drag connectors between sockets and route the cables so none of them cross. Moves are limited. Run out and you overload. • One mechanic you understand in five seconds and keep playing for a month • Endless generated links, difficulty labelled before you start • Fourteen field elements: jammed nodes, corrosion, anchors, welded pairs, ghost wires, unstable nodes on a countdown • A story about a machine remembering itself piece by piece • Everything in the shop is earnable: three daily goals, streaks, hard links • One-handed, works offline Nine languages. A dark theme that doesn't burn your eyes at 4 a.m.
