#HACKNET EOS HOW TO#

As the caption says, you have running tasks (left,) UI (center,) terminal (top-right,) and network with discovered nodes (bottom-right.) This is the only interface with the game, so no people or walking around. It looks rather boring, and is on the surface. Terminal window: top right, Network: bottom right, UI: center, Tasks: leftĪs seen above, I’m connected to my own in-game PC. This isn’t a point-click adventure, so much as type in commands (in a terminal interface, as seen in the pictures) and click through various nodes and filesystems. Some IPs are found in the filesystems of hacked nodes, others are emailed to you, and even more are found in decrypted headers of random files. This is all done through “nodes,” or other PCs connected through networks, mobile devices, or even by obtaining IP addresses through various means. The email you receive claims that the hacker is already dead, and they apparently want you to find the party responsible and avenge them. So, what is Hacknet? You, a hacker, are contacted by a mysterious elite hacker that you later find out has gone dark for 2 weeks. I’ll go back and try to figure out the next step, because apparently, it’s fixable. I don’t know if it was a bug, or intentional, but I had to make an entirely new save. One was so bad, I actually had to restart on a new save, thanks to the side quest killing the main quest. I even came across game-breaking bugs, or even quests that would prevent me from advancing the main quest if I completed the side quest first.

Several times I found myself wondering how to do certain things, and other times completely lost as to the next step before eventually finding my way. I’m honestly surprised by just how fun this game was. I didn’t watch any videos about it, I read a handful of reviews on Steam, and just took a leap of faith. I found it on Steam under the Specials tab, and picked up the main game and the Labryinths DLC for right at $10. I’ve come across a few gems, but Hacknet has really surprised me. This time home, I did some more digging around for good games that fly under my radar.
