Spectrum Light Engine

Spectrum Light Engine: Classified Briefing — 1984, England

Location: Redacted. Access Level: TECHNICIAN.

In a hidden sector, a brilliant yet reclusive inventor—Smith—has created a prototype that defies convention:

The Spectrum Light Engine
It doesn’t just transmit data...
It illuminates it.

Abandoning copper wiring and crawling baud rates, this revolutionary system transmits ultra-fast data pulses through coded polymer light channels.

It could redefine computing and telecommunications for the next century.

But there’s a catch...

The system is unstable.
The data must flow continuously.
And you—The Technician—must resolve the prototype from the inside out.

Your Mission

•  Keep the data moving

•  Outsmart corrupted program logic

•  Avoid your own data trail

•  Recover missing code and stabilize the engine

Each sector runs on a 60-second failsafe loop.
When the timer hits zero, the system reconfigures.

The Spectrum Light Engine waits for no one.

Sector Hazards

•  White error blocks = corrupted data — collect these to patch the stream

•  Coloured blocks = unrecoverable anomalies — contact will crash the system

•  Lost code letters = vital fragments — collect them to repair structural integrity

Controls

• W / A / S / D — Move through the data grid

• P — Pause the SLE program

Boundary Integrity: CRITICAL
