THE CRIMSON CASCADE

🧭 This chain is also a 3D maze

The Crimson Cascade is this same chain as a place you walk through. Each stage is a terminal beside a locked gate, and solving it opens the gate. The maze also hides data fragments with a bonus message you can only get there.

Your progress and score are the same either way, so you can start in one and finish in the other. If you want the maze to be a surprise, start there.

📜 Briefing
The relay tower called the Cascade is burning through its last hours of power. Every corridor streams with red characters that fall like rain, and the walls hum hot enough to blur the air.

You are a runner sent to reach the core before it melts down. The tower's old caretaker program has left notes along the way, scattered where only a careful eye will find them. Move fast, because the red is getting brighter.
  1. 1 Gate One - The Ember Door
  2. 2 Gate Two - Furnace Stair 🔒 opens with stage 1's answer
  3. 3 Gate Three - The Last Gate 🔒 opens with stage 2's answer
