About This Game

YOU START WITH A BLINKING CURSOR. THAT'S IT.

You don't even get a mouse cursor no no no... That's an upgrade. No sound, you need to buy speakers for your PC to hear sounds.

Type mine, watch one byte arrive, and build an empire out of that. AUT0M@TE! NO SY5TEM IS SAFE!

BR3AK IN FAST. GET PAID MORE.

You can hack various targets, such as your next door neighbor whose dog won't stop barking at night. Hack contracts are typed under a timer. Clean runs multiply the payout.

M@KE THE MACHINE YOURS!

Six full theme presets, or ANY IMAGE FROM YOUR PC as terminal wallpaper.

YOU THOUGHT IT STOPS WITH JUST A TERMINAL?!

Buy the DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT and your terminal shrinks into a window on a full graphical OS. Everything you built becomes an app. Who knows maybe you can go further and take a walk outside of your room...

The darknet hub is in there too. A black market where you can sell your own scripts,  crew heists, peers who talk back at 3AM. They're simulated. For now.

Player-to-player darknet is in development for a free post-launch update. This will allow players to chat with each other, do some co-op hacking missions and buy/sell data mine scripts that are written by players in-game.

EVERYTHING YOU DO IS A WAY TO GAIN DATA, EVEN THE ARCADE

Oldschool SNAKE, PONG and MINESWEEPER! running inside the operating system your idle game turned into, paying to the same balance.

A5CEND!

Prestige is a TOTAL SYSTEM WIPE! Every upgrade, every item, the OS itself traded for Quantum Bits and permanent power.

Only your trophies and records survive. The climb back is faster every time.

  • 40+ commands, a 40+ node skill tree, botnets, a crypto exchange

  • A darknet market, crew heists, and network takeover

  • Overclock your PC for more data gain until a part physically burns out
