Impossible? puzzle in a video game

Sort:

So I was playing the new System Shock (2023) and in one of the maps you come across a chessboard with a game already in play.
Apparently the game is randomized for each player so trying to find the setup I was given was not possible but it was end game so not many pieces left.

This was the position with white to move
I have mediocre understanding of chess and I got mated in 2 so I'm curious if y'all can see something I don't

I implemented the board but apparently that didn't work

It looks like the position is completely lost for White no matter what he does:

So you didn't miss anything. wink
