What Hollywood hacking should be...



UPDATE: Let the techno-magic of the 14 tracks found in <span class="bold">Hacknet's OST</span> flow through your fingers, as you masterfully execute your digital break-ins!
The soundtrack is 20% off until February 1st, 2:00PM UTC.



<span class="bold">Hacknet</span>, a terminal-based hacking sim for the hidden hacker in you, is available now for Windows, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Is there a hacker buried deep within you? Struggling to be free while you go about the mundane and the usual? Are you woefully short on hacking-sims that let you live out your digital fantasies, or are you just curious to see what it's like?
Hacknet is a game about hacking, an adventure game that mixes the authenticity of a simple command line with beautiful hollywood-inspired interfaces and backends. Underneath these mazes of neon-greens and reds lies an instinctual UNIX-inspired language for you to master, and while those experienced with coding will find some things familiar, prior knowledge is absolutely not required. Between an overarching storyline, sidequests and twists, Hacknet is a game that may surprise you in more than one way...

The crash and the bluescreen in the video isn't very confidence inspiring...
Really excited, just got it, only problem is it wont play. I just click the button on Galaxy and nothing loads. Verify/Repair didnt help. Hopefully I can figure it out after work today.

You're welcome :)
Gog is exciting at the moment. Hacking, necrodancing, world domination.
This looks more realistic than uplink. I hope it also play that way.

Wishlisted for now.

don't get it. don't most graphic cards capable of scaling or have the option to change resolution? or are you posting just for the sake of posting again?

Looks like Uplink: Hacker Elite for 2015+.

That said, the title of the game is highly unfortunate, though a more accurate "Cracknet" would probably be more confusing.

(What I'm trying to say is that "hacking" does not mean bypassing computer security or commiting computer crimes)
