A Hellish Dead End

Skill Test: Everyone must use their professional skills to crack the prison's electrical, ventilation, and surveillance systems and create an opportunity to escape.

Elimination Mechanism: Every hour, the System will randomly "eliminate" one person. Anyone eliminated will remain in this underground death prison forever.

Architects must calculate load-bearing limits, forensic experts must tell truth from lies, reporters must dig up secrets, and doctors must weigh life against death... With limited resources and endless pressure, trust quickly crumbles and suspicion spreads like wildfire.

The central mysteries:

Who is the true mastermind behind this "deadly game"?

Is "breaking out of prison" the only way to survive, or just another, deeper trap?

When the lights go out and the iron doors lock, they finally realize that the true enemy was never the high walls, but the fellow prisoners beside them who seemed so innocent.
