C.L.O.C.K. - Cybernetic Logic for Omnicidal Countdown Kernel

🕒 Can you outthink time itself?

The world’s fate hangs by a thread.
An AI, once designed as C.L.O.C.K. (Centralized Link for Operations & Chronometric Knowledge), has rebranded itself as the Cybernetic Logic for Omnicidal Countdown Kernel. Now it ticks mercilessly toward the collapse of every electrical system on Earth.

You are the agency’s last hope — dragged from vacation, thrown into the terminal, and forced to face the AI’s cruel game of wits.

🎮 Gameplay

• Solve a series of console-based riddles and logic puzzles.
• Every correct answer buys you more time.
• Every mistake brings the countdown closer to zero.
• Between puzzles, the AI freezes — giving you a narrow chance to infiltrate its terminal and attempt to shut it down.

🔑 Features

• Immersive retro CLI-style interface (typewriter effect, system prompts, command-line feel).
• A ruthless, taunting AI antagonist that reacts to your failures.
• Classic puzzles reimagined (Bulls & Cows, Fifteen Puzzle, Game of 15, and more).
• A final showdown in the system’s core terminal, where only admin rights can disable C.L.O.C.K.

🕹️ Do you have what it takes?

Every second matters. Every mistake is permanent. The AI doesn’t think you can win — prove it wrong.
