Endpoint Alpha: Your Phone Is Now the Crime Scene

A terminal boots. Five nodes are locked, and each one tells you exactly what it wants. None of them mention that the phone in your hand is the key. No controller. No cloud save. Just the device — and whatever it can actually sense about the world around it.

CONTAINMENT: ACTIVE PLATFORM: iOS 17+ CLASSIFICATION: SINGLE-PLAYER / OFFLINE
// MODULE MANIFEST

Five locked nodes.
None of them are on the screen.

Endpoint Alpha doesn't simulate hardware puzzles — it uses the real thing. Every node below opens by reading the actual state of your actual device, live, in the room you're actually sitting in.

The network state, room volume, device orientation, and volume-key presses are all read live, on-device, for gameplay only — nothing is ever recorded or leaves your phone. See exactly how →

[SEVERANCE]

Full Air-Gap

Cut every interface — Wi-Fi, cellular, all of it — until nothing on the phone can carry traffic anywhere. Half-measures don't count.

[DEAD_DROP]

Face-Down, Left There

Lay the phone face-down on a real surface and don't touch it. Three full seconds, no peeking at the screen to check.

[RESONANCE]

Make the Room Loud

One node listens through the mic. Get close enough to clipping and hold it there for a third of a second.

[KEYSTONE]

The Volume Keys Are a Keypad

Up, up, down — inside a six-second window. No account, no on-screen prompt walks you through it.

[CONVERGENCE]

Two Conditions, Blind

The last node needs the network cut and the phone face-down at the same time — which means solving it without being able to see the screen at all.

// THE PROTOCOL

No hidden rules. Just a live readout and five things it's asking for.

01

Read

The terminal shows exactly what it can sense, live — link status, orientation, room volume, volume-key presses. No hidden state.

02

Match

Every locked node says outright what it wants. There's no translation needed — just line the real world up with the readout.

03

Open

Hold the condition, and the node opens for good. Finish all five and the terminal keeps a full transcript of exactly how you did it.

// CLEARANCE REQUEST

Your device is already compatible.
The only question is whether you'll open it.

Requires iOS 17 or later. Best with the sound on.
