About

You play a thief who breaks into computer systems at night. Your tools are siphons to extract data and progs to disable security. Each level is a grid of servers you navigate by linking connections. You must balance speed with caution as firewalls and alarms escalate. Mistakes trigger countermeasures that erase your progress or force you to retreat. The challenge lies in optimizing paths while staying undetected across increasingly complex networks. Players praise the tight feedback loop between planning and execution. A minimalist art style focuses attention on puzzle mechanics that grow sharply difficult. With no multiplayer elements to distract, the 2013 release built a dedicated following among strategy fans. Its emphasis on risk management over brute force sets it apart from typical action hacking games. Available on PC Mac and iOS since August 2013 it remains a compact but satisfying exercise in digital infiltration.
