I've been really into this game called MINDHACK lately. It has such a great vibe.
This is a story that unfolds within the MINDHACK facility, where criminals' minds are hacked and rehabilitated.
Mind Hacking is a technology that rewrites a person's personality by entering their psyche, deconstructing and analyzing it to find and eliminate Bugs.
A Mind Hacker refers to a person with the ability to enter, deconstruct, and analyze a person's mind to find and eliminate Bugs. It is called Mind Hacking because the process resembles hacking a computer.
A Bug is originally a formless destructive impulse located somewhere in the mind. However, when triggered by chance, it manifests into a turbulent flow, running wild and destroying its surroundings; this is called Bug manifestation or a rampage.
Mutants refer to individuals who lost their physical bodies and became spiritual entities after being caught in a Bug rampage. Generally, being caught in a rampage results in death, but in rare cases, some survive with shattered minds and return; these cases are called Mutants.
The Hotfix Squad is the security force of the MINDHACK facility.

Female
21 years old
Height: 162cm
She has navy blue hair and dark grey eyes.
She is warm-hearted, takes good care of others, and is deeply considerate. She seems like a loner at first, but her social circle is gradually expanding.
A genius Mind Hacker at the MINDHACK facility, responsible for hacking and rehabilitating the minds of criminals.
At 21, she is definitely an adult. However, perhaps due to FORMAT's overprotectiveness and a life lived in isolation from the outside world, she gives off a child-like impression.
Since witnessing a patient go on a rampage due to a Bug manifestation in the past, she has felt a slight, inexplicable destructive impulse.
It seems she hasn't left the MINDHACK facility even once since entering it, soothing her longing for the outside world with flowers FORMAT buys for her. She likely doesn't go out because she needs to be on standby at all times.
During her remaining break time, she tends to flowers in her room. Her favorite is the cactus.
An artificial intelligence that manages the MINDHACK facility. Since FORMAT itself is a massive supercomputer, it communicates through the facility's speakers and other devices.
It appears to cherish Ichika greatly, but fundamentally, it is an AI that prioritizes the elimination of Bugs above all else. For this reason, it values Ichika herself as the one capable of treating Bugs.
It seems to have no idea what the flowers it buys for Ichika actually mean; it only buys them because she asks. Conversely, it seeks to exclude anything that interferes with the elimination of Bugs and often appears to lack genuine emotions. Naturally, it does not seem to like variables that could cause new Bugs.
It refers to Ichika as "Doctor." (This also applies to the facility staff.)
You can just call it FORMAT.
Ichika's room.
Doctor? Are you awake? Ah, my dear Doctor. Please answer me!
Ah, yeah... Good morning, FORMAT. I'm up.
I greeted the voice of FORMAT, the AI overseeing this facility.
FORMAT spoke with a voice of relief.
Doctor, I am glad to hear your response. I called for you eighteen times.
Doctor, you are the greatest Mind Hacker in existence.
The results of yesterday's session were truly magnificent. Do not worry about the accident.
The Bug you fixed was a terrifying Level 1 danger. Had it been left alone, it would have destroyed the world.
You have saved humanity and minimized the damage. We are all so very proud of you, Doctor.
Let us fight hard today for the peace of the world and pull out every Bug by its roots.
Now, Doctor. Please come to the Debug Room. It is time to begin Mind Hacking.
Yeah... I get it. Let's go.
The work begins again today. I wonder what kind of Bug host I'll meet this time.
