What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The core gameplay loop (Academy + Dark Web + attack/defense/tracking) is playable; we aim to expand the content and online operations based on player feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 3–6 months”

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

“More modules, online shared operations, more vehicles and finishes; existing systems will be deepened.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“25+ modules, full attack/defense/tracking loop, CyberCode editor, skill tree, daily/weekly missions — English + Turkish.”

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

“We do not plan to change the price after Early Access.”

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

“The community is central to how we shape Cyber Academy during Early Access. We collect feedback through the Steam Community Hub and discussion forums, and through our social channels like Instagram and YouTube (both "JinjaGames") and we read every comment and bug report there. This feedback directly influences the game's direction: which new learning modules and Dark Web tools we build next, how we balance the online attack / defense / tracing systems, difficulty and pacing tuning, which languages we prioritize for localization, and how we rank bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements. We plan to post regular update notes, run polls on upcoming content, and reply to reports on the Steam forums, so players can see how their input shapes each update.”

About This Game

Cyber Academy puts you inside a living virtual operating system where cybersecurity is something you do, not just read about.

▶ Learn through modules

Open a module, follow the clue, make a choice and see what changes. Explore phishing awareness, passwords, malware, networks, cryptography, forensics, web and API security, social engineering and more through interactive challenges.

▶ Cross into the Dark Net

The Dark Net is a separate online layer beyond the modules. Create a virtual operator identity, take contracts and make moves against fictional targets. Every IP, account and target exists only inside the game.

▶ They can come for you, too

Other virtual operators can make a move against your setup. Build your defences, react when a rival strikes and follow the trail they leave behind. Your decisions shape risk, rewards and reputation.

▶ Find your crew

Create or join a clan, meet players in in-game forums, compare progress and build a name. Unlock ranks, avatars, cosmetics and a branching skill tree as you grow from curious beginner to recognised operator.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

AI-assisted tools were used during the development of this game to help with portions of the programming process, the creation of some visual assets, and certain audio assets. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, refined, and integrated by the development team before release. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay and does not rely on external AI services while running.
