About the game
A terminal-based hacking simulator where real UNIX and Linux commands are your tools for breaking into systems. You follow the trail of a dead hacker whose death may not have been an accident. An indie title that turns the command line into a tense narrative.
Did you know?
Hacknet uses real terminal-style commands rather than made-up software, which set it apart from other hacking games. It was created largely by a single Australian developer under the name Team Fractal Alligator.
