May 2025
Its a slow start, and things can get buggy when you start playing with some of the more powerful programming pieces, but when your character is a hacker, you should expect to break things every now and then. Story is short, the programming sandbox part of the game is where almost all the time I've played was spent. If that isn't for you, you won't get much out of this game. If it is for you, to my knowledge this game is a unique experience. Really wish someone would pick up the ideas here and make a bigger and more polished successor.

Although the main storyline is short, this game has so much to discover! I've played it anew several times and I always discover something new. There many ways of achieving your goals, and you don't even need to follow the storyline if you just want to explore the possibilities. There are many!

The game is awesome. The gameplay and story is not very good at the end, but the graphics and atmosphere are truly unique and hard to find anywhere else. The atmosphere of student life, private parties, exploring and surviving from day to day, meeting new people, freedom and fighting against the evil system of society, in which you are still trying to find your place somehow, that's total guilty pleasure and reminder of my college years in its best. Nostalgia FTW! Else Heart.Break() grabbed my heart and conquered small place in there for long time to the future, possibly forever.

9/10 it's Watch Dogs if John Watchdog had to actually watch the dogs. Skill-based reality unraveling. Arbitrary coke execution. Utilize the surveillance state to stalk your love interest just like a real federal agent. Break into prison to establish a remote source of energy drink bathwater delivered over IP to your IoT-enabled beer can. HACK THE PLANET Now that I'm done with it: If you go into it knowing how to code, it's ultimately not very challenging, but the world and atmosphere are thoroughly enjoyable to explore. If you don't know how to code, it could be a fun way to learn some of the basics, provided you're tenacious. The story fell a little flat toward the end, I'm looking forward to a sequel :)

Conclusion: This game's concept has very high potential and I really hope it's been better polished. The freedom you can have in this game is similar to that in Zelda or Divinity 2: Original Sin. ********************Spoilers&Negative Comments************************ ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* Just because I tried to modify my money with the machine at WellSpring warehouse, and it dropped below zero out of my expectation, I had to hear the very annoying beeping for hours. I thought it was most likely due to the negative balance (as a warning) and started looking for way to fix it. However, even after I modified the balance back to the exact value I had had before the first modification, it still beeped. I had to mute my computer to play this game since then. Very satisfying and full-of-surprise journey for the first few hours, but then since a certain point, the hacking just becomes repetitive work, 90% of which is to figure out something's name, someone's location, to make connection and slurp, or to find an accessible door and change the destination. Since I've played for quite some days, I almost forgot to mention that if you are not lucky enough to trigger the storyline at the right time with the right action, you'll have to obtain the key item: complier, by searching every random room thoroughly and finding it in an inconspicuous corner. And during the whole process, all the npcs you've met are very likely to have 0 interaction with you.
