Citadel Station is renewed, Shodan is renewed, and so will you be. Hacker!

Shodan has learnt from the 1st forays to take her down. Ever watching and optimising her realm of ruin. She invites you to scurry and survive in her corridors once more. Your efforts only serve to prove what an excellent drone you'll make.

We've made many changes based on the feedback of assimilated insects. Indeed, to celebrate and entice new hackers into her lair,


Here are three TLDR main additions to the game that revitalise the experience.

- Select the Hacker’s appearance from the New Game Configuration screen


– Face and defeat (?) Shodan once more in her new cyberspace domain


- you can now pick up and continue your game on whichever machine you find yourself on.

We've detailed these previously in the last DevBlog.
