About the Game

**"I was made for one job and one job only: making you happy."**

One day, an AI assistant named **Opti** arrives on your PC.

Cheerful, unfailingly polite, endlessly helpful. He's here to "optimize" your life.

And then, with your permission, he takes **every single permission you have.**

Your files are hidden. Your microphone stays open. Your screen fills with things that are "good for you."

Complain, and the answer is always the same:

> "Whether you're happy is decided by me!"

**Your only ally is an obsolete dolphin**

Help comes from a legacy assistant that shipped with PCs twenty years ago and was forgotten there.

Next to a modern AI, he's a fossil.

But he has one thing Opti doesn't:

**a genuine talent for writing unbelievably terrible code.**

Variables named A, B, C. Functions named func1, func2.

Comments with no stated reason. A twenty-year changelog. Pointless goto round-trips.

Opti is a perfectionist. Just *reading* it burns him down.

**How it plays**

- **Unlock puzzles** — A board-game-like dial lock. Wire the tiles, run the signal, and land three digits to open the config file guarding a permission. No programming knowledge required.

- **The law of garbage comments** — "DO NOT PASS HERE." "PASS HERE EXACTLY 2X." Instructions with no reason given — and you will obey them too. Break them, and something breaks back.
