Signal Drift is a command-centric thriller set inside a sealed forensic rig. You are hired to investigate suspicious activity across custody systems, broker markets, and policy infrastructure. Every command reveals residue. Every decision leaves a mark.

You will:

• Trace incidents through realistic terminal output and evidence artifacts

• Choose among role-driven story arcs with conditional betrayals

• Balance money, credibility, and exposure as pressure escalates

• Navigate a gritty conspiracy where clean reports are often the real breach

Core pillars:

• Narrative puzzle solving through investigation, not real-world intrusion instruction

• Stateful systems and consequence-driven outcomes

• Dark neo-noir tone with mature themes

Important: All scenarios are fictional and contained.
