Rust Laboratory: Signal Zero — v0.1.0
A new desktop investigation
This release transforms RustTextAdventure from a command-line prototype into Rust Laboratory: Signal Zero, a native Windows narrative mystery. Investigate a laboratory blackout, secure evidence, navigate the facility and decide what survives the incident.
Highlights
- A polished desktop interface with story actions, an evidence ledger, a facility map and a progress tracker.
- A complete branching mystery with gated discoveries and three endings.
- Local save files, local accessibility settings, scalable text, high contrast and keyboard controls.
- Offline-by-default operation with no account, cloud save or analytics SDK.
- Automated Rust quality checks and a Windows x86_64 build workflow.
