Hacknet is an immersive, terminal-based hacking simulator for
PC. Dive down a rabbit hoIe as you follow the instructions of a
recently deceased hacker, whose death may not have been the
accident the media reports. Using old school command prompts and
real hacking processes, you’ll solve the mystery with minimal
hand-holding and a rich world full of secrets to explore.
Bit, a hacker responsible for creating the most invasive security
system on the planet, is dead. When he fails to reconnect to his
system for 14 days, his failsafe kicks in, sending instructions in
automated emails to a lone user. As that user, it’s up to you to
unravel the mystery and ensure that Hacknet-OS doesn’t fall into
the wrong hands.
Exploring the volatile nature of personal privacy, the prevalence
of corporate greed, and the hidden powers of hackers on the
internet, Hacknet delivers a true hacking simulation, while
offering a support system that allows total beginners get a grasp
of the real-world applications and commands found throughout the
game.
Real Hacking
Based on actual UNIX commands, Hacknet focuses on real hacking, not
the Hollywood-style version of it. This creates a truly immersive
experience and puts players right in the thick of trying to break
through the firewalls.
Unlock the mystery of Bit
A hacker is dead and the media reports don’t add up. When you are
contacted by his “ghost” – an automated failsafe system – you’re
drawn into the dark and murky world of underground hackers.
Full immersion
You are thrust into a persistent virtual world with no “levels” or
obvious game elements to break the illusion. Follow the guidance of
the emails from Bit or just dive down the rabbit hole, chasing down
clues and snippets of information you find as you explore different
systems.
Accessible but uncompromising
Whilst not holding your hand or dumbing down, the design of the
game and the learning curve enables those with no prior terminal
experience to enjoy it whilst delighting those in the know.
Killer tunes
Hack to the beat of a soundtrack featuring underground artists
including Carpenter Brut (Hotline Miami) and Remi Gallego (AKA The
Algorithm).
Soundtrack produced in association with The Otherworld Agency.
