SAM’S CYBER ADVENTURE · LEVEL 02
Data Rescue.
Contain the incident. Recover a protected copy. Test the restore.
Take your time. There is no countdown.
RECOVERY IS MORE THAN A COPY
Sam brought it home.
Coordinate the response and contain affected systems before recovery.
02 · RECOVERProtect your recovery copyA synchronized copy can mirror damage. Keep a separate, protected backup.

Controls, accessibility, and the cyber connection
Move with the left/right arrows or A/D. Jump with Space, W, or the up arrow. Hold Jump for repeat jumps. Press E near a console to inspect, use, or test. On touchscreens, hold a direction and Jump together.
Isolate the affected zone. Find three backup pieces on the upper platforms, then use the protected-backup station. The amber platforms move: wait for one to come down, jump aboard, and release Jump to ride it. In the recovery area, use both upper test consoles to bring the final bridge online.
Falling returns Sam to a checkpoint. Collected pieces and completed steps stay with you for this run. Retry as often as you like. Relaxed play slows hazards and adds protection. Pause whenever you need. Reduced-motion preferences turn off background drift and decorative effects; lifts still move because they are part of the route.
This platformer uses timing and visual navigation. The text-based backup lesson offers another way to learn. These are fictional game metaphors, not a complete incident-response procedure. Real recovery involves your response plan, evidence preservation, clean systems, and coordinated testing.
