Cyberphobia: Prologue - Kernel Panic

The municipal CityStack is rolling bad updates. Cameras contradict witnesses, drones loop patrols, and your HUD can’t agree with your eyes. Ride the fault line between what the system sees and what’s actually there. Exploit the corruption for impossible angles—or stabilize the grid before it eats the district. Kernel Panic bends level geometry, patrol logic, and mission intel around a single question: when the operating system lies, what do you trust?.

Kernel Panic — DLC Overview
Genre & tone
FPS cyber-thriller with reality-bending systemic stealth/combat. The vibe is “the city OS is lying to you”—cold, glitchy, paranoid.
Premise (story)
A corrupted rollout to the municipal CityStack desynchronizes what cameras see from what exists. Patrol drones loop, doors index to the wrong coordinates, and evidence chains contradict themselves. You’re contracted to trace the bad patch through contractors and dev-ops scapegoats, stabilize (or exploit) the grid, and decide whether to hard-patch the city… or keep a secret backdoor.
Estimated playtime
Critical path: 3.5–5 hours.
Full clear (branch outcomes, challenges, collectibles): 6–8 hours.
