Game Developer Bunny — Chapter 5: Blackout Protocol

All chapters of Game Developer Bunny

Following the loss of her custom dev-kit, Bunny spends the remainder of the school day in a cold sweat, fearing the teacher might accidentally trigger a diagnostic test on the confiscated device. She attempts to remain invisible, but the digital fallout from her severed connection begins to manifest as cascading bugs within her game, visible on the screens of students who are currently playing. Realizing she must retrieve the hardware before the server performs an automatic hard reset, Bunny decides to stage a 'clumsy' accident during the after-school cleanup to gain access to the teacher's desk. She executes the maneuver, successfully swapping a decoy remote for the dev-kit, but her physical clumsiness results in her knocking over a stack of grade files in the process. Just as she secures her gear, the teacher returns to the classroom unexpectedly, forcing Bunny to hide in the darkened supply closet with her pulse racing.
