About this listen

You know the system. You open an app, you accept a job, and a clock starts ticking. It’s all built for maximum efficiency, rewarding speed and a perfect rating.

Now, imagine that same logic isn’t for delivering a pizza, but for repairing a massive ship in a hazardous dockyard. What happens when the AI managing the site says everything is safe, but your own senses are screaming that something is dangerously wrong? Do you trust the machine that pays your rent, or the gut feeling that could save your life?

This story explores that exact dilemma, placing you in a world where human intuition goes head-to-head with automated logic.

This is Eight Minutes to Red.
