Overview

#c-Reboot is an immersive AI interactive drama—a series of strategic maneuvers and reshuffles unfolding within the Windows operating system.
The once-orderly Windows system suddenly plunges into unprecedented crisis. The administrator account vanishes mysteriously, the system descends into chaos, urgently calling for the next successor.
Simultaneously, vulnerabilities emerge within the system's defenses. Malware infiltrates the network, trojan detection malfunctions, and multiple antivirus programs vie for system sovereignty—signaling an impending, disruptive reconstruction.
Now, amidst this digital prairie where chaos and order intertwine, a systemic reshuffle is imminent. Players will embody roles across different factions—as system administrators, antivirus stewards, or virus compilers—negotiating with Windows through an AI-driven interface to fight for themselves and their home.


#c-Reboot is not merely an interactive experience blending technology and gaming; it is a profound reflection on today's digital ecosystem. The systemic struggle mirrors power dynamics, cooperation, and competition within human society while exploring the delicate equilibrium between order and chaos. Who will emerge as the ultimate ruler? Who can restore systemic order? Only through players' continuous decision-making and strategic gameplay will the system's future gradually unfold.

Welcome to the #c-Reboot Initiative. May the prairie never burn again.
