Bomb Game: Wild City edition

[ you open your eyes to find yourself in a room that might look familiar if you just so happened to be a certified zombie survivalist. however, if you were lucky enough to avoid the zombie meet & greet, then welcome to the dankest heckhole in tokyo-f. ]
[ the overhead lights flicker often enough to instantly grind your gears, while simultaneously doing next to nothing to illuminate the dilapidated little room. though a chorus of moans and groans rise from outside, all the doors and windows are securely barricaded, making the shambling monsters a non-issue... though it's possible their existence alone may put you on edge. ]
[ or maybe that's the -fsssst- sound, a subtle hissing coming from what could have passed for fire sprinklers. for the duration of the game a colorless and odorless gas is going to be filling the room, one that clouds judgements and exacerbates anxiety. but, hey!, that's what the janky table and busted chairs in the corner of the room featuring cold tea and dry biscuits is for - a carefully curated space for you and yours to kick back, relax, and KEEP TALKING. ]
[ the center of the room is where the main event sits, a BOMB, with several thick cords snaking out from it connecting to a bunch of different buttons. the entire thing is housed in an unbreakable glass cube, with only the buttons in reach of your grubby hands. a tv screen is suspended overhead, currently displaying the rules & winning conditions, but that's all about to change... ]
[ in the meantime feel free to enjoy a particularly messy wall, one stained with all sorts of things from the last bunch that tried

Hmmmmm. Well, they say that no news is good news, and you don't feel any different. And is it just a trick of the light, or does the countdown on the bomb seem to be slowing down.
Congratulations. It looks like you cut the correct wire. ]

There's got to be a reason the first letter of each sentence is... oh! [ takes out his phone and starts messing around in the notepad. ]

Major Status Effect
Oh. Oh no. A red light beyond the glass starts blinking as a shrill sound pierces the air. The sound and lights intensity to an almost dizzying crescendo until it hits you full force - a push and a pull that seems to steal the breath from your lungs for a moment. And then all goes quiet.
