I don't have any knowledge of hacking or networking. I created this game because I wanted to look cool at cafes.

Most of the gameplay involves you typing nonsense commands and pretending to be an "I'm going in" type of hacker. And when it comes to hacking, just randomly spam your keyboard at the target speed to bypass fake security and watch as totally-legit-looking code floods your screen. Complete with unnecessary sci-fi bleeps and bloops, because that's definitely how cybersecurity works.

You'll "steal data" (whatever that means) and sell it for Bitcoin to upgrade your "hacker software" (don't ask me what it's called, I made this up).

Load it up on your laptop and go play it at some cafe. According to my extensive research: wishlist the game on Steam and your wishes might come true. If not, well... hope you like discussing my game with random tech bros at Starbucks.

I don't know why you're reading this but thank you, I guess.
