“Углублённость в техническую часть и использование реальных команд UNIX - делают этот многопользовательский симулятор хакера интересным для начинающих этических хакеров и тестеров проникновения.”

Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“One of the main objectives is that the game takes place in a changing and lively world.
Although in this phase of development this world is working, it still does not have the level of depth and complexity that I have marked as objective and the feedback from the community can be very useful to finish developing this and other aspects of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Being the only developer and given the scale of the game, it is difficult to predict a date since there are several factors involved such as community feedback. You can check the roadmap to see the current state of development of the game.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The final version will also have a more complex world and a greater variety of hacking techniques, programs and missions.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Grey Hack is in Alpha status as there are some core features to be implemented. Although you can already use several hacking techniques and perform some missions. You can also freely explore the world in single player and multiplayer mode.

The multiplayer mode is functional at the same level as the single player mode.
The operating system of the game, including its UI, is quite functional, as well as the terminal commands, available programs and network connections.

Keep in mind that since the game is in its Alpha version, due to development aspects, single player and multiplayer savegames can be deleted in future updates.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will gradually increase as new contents and features are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Steam forums and Discord will be the main sites to give feedback, get to know news, discuss aspects of development, etc.

I follow the forums very closely, as I am very interested in receiving feedback from the community and working together.”

About This Game

Grey Hack is a massively multiplayer hacking simulator game.

You're a hacker with full freedom to act as you wish on a vast network of procedurally generated computers.

File Explorer, Terminal and Text Editor are some of the programs that will be available from the start of the game. As you improve your skills you will find new utilities that you may install and use.

A living persistent world

Explore the Grey Hack universe and forge your own reputation in a world shared by all players. When you leave the game, the online universe remains actively running 24/7.

This always active game session means that the changes you have made in any computer in the world can be seen by players who connect to them even if you are no longer online. Your progress will be saved, but your actions may have consequences.

Plan your attacks

Each network in the world has a totally different configuration, size and security, also using a dynamic and deep exploit system so that each network and computer poses a different challenge. Study your target; use social engineering, scan the system for administrator flaws that allow a backdoor to be opened, test different possible exploits, but above all, cover your tracks when you're done.

Create, modify, share

The terminal has a fundamental role, based on real UNIX commands; it is an indispensable tool for carrying out successful attacks.

Terminal commands and exploits have been built using the scripting language available in the game, this means that you can modify any existing command or create your own if you wish. In the same way you can create your own exploits if the ones that are already available in the world do not satisfy your needs.

Sandbox

Grey Hack offers a non-linear experience where you progress at your own pace. Publish web pages to share your creations, create guilds and organize attacks against other players, carry out commissioned missions to earn money and reputation, or explore the world on your own where special missions and other secrets are hidden.

Single Player Mode

Grey Hack is intended to be played in Multiplayer Mode, benefiting from the richer environment of an always-online universe, but the game also offers a single player mode for those so inclined. In Single Player mode, you play in a world created on your computer. Unlike Online Mode, when you exit the game in Single Player, the in-game universe stops, and progress resumes only upon your return.

Roadmap

Grey Hack is in the Alpha phase version 0.7. You can check the Roadmap here. I am open for suggestions. If there is any feature you would like to see in the game, do not hesitate to let me know through the Steam forums or the official Discord server.
