SUPPORT DESK.

Help for a fictional government workstation that occasionally pretends reality is broken. The support system is considerably less mysterious.

Common questions

How do I start the story?

Open a new Chrome tab, enter the fictional BLACKSITE access experience, and follow the opening investigation. A visible TERMINAL button opens the simulated command interpreter. New players begin as GUEST.

Is this a real government or hacking tool?

No. It is fictional interactive entertainment. Its simulated commands do not connect to real military, government, or other computers.

Can I turn off glitches?

Yes. Open the game terminal and enter FX OFF. You can also select less intense settings such as FX SUBTLE. The game is intended to respect reduced-motion preferences.

How do I save or move my progress?

Open the terminal and use BACKUP SAVE to export story progress to a local JSON file. Use RESTORE SAVE in the other Chrome profile, select the file, and complete the confirmation. Keep the JSON backup private if your game choices or callsign matter to you.

How do I restart the entire investigation?

After finishing the story, use RESTART EXPERIENCE and type the confirmation word RESTART. This clears the fictional story progress and unlocks without resetting your default search provider.

Why does the web search open another provider?

BLACKSITE uses the default search provider set in Chrome. Change your browser's default provider in Chrome settings if desired; BLACKSITE does not replace it.

Where is the GH0ZT Binary Terminal?

It is a secret in-game utility. Look for simulated tools and files through the terminal. Once discovered, it can encode and decode text and whole numbers locally.

Basic troubleshooting

  • Open chrome://extensions and confirm A51 BLACKSITE is enabled.
  • Reload the extension after updating its unpacked files.
  • Test in a new tab and check for error badges in the Chrome extensions page.
  • Export a story backup before clearing extension data or reinstalling.
  • If a cinematic effect is uncomfortable, use FX OFF.
