A fun way to put some of the basic networking knowledge I had to the test, and the main loop of expanding and upgrading your network was really engaging for me. Slowly being given more and more information through the manual as you explored was rewarding, and the limited set of tools at your disposal made solving problems a lot more interesting. Some experience/exposure to how networks function will probably help, though I don't think it is necessary. Also, for info on horror elements: They only exist in a few areas of the game, but interacting with them is mandatory. There is a toggle to make monsters less aggressive, but I don't think it removes them outright.

It might look intimidating especially with all the nerds reviewing it saying that this game is just like their job that they have a masters degree in computer science for but its actually just a clicker/idle game in 3D

One of the more unique games out there at the moment. Combining Networking and Horror sounds strange -- I mean, networking already is a horror in and of itself. Jokes aside, the game is fairly easy. Optimization is hard, which it should be. I will say, the game doesn't really do much in terms of tutorials. You very much are left to find out what works and what doesn't. This is both a huge boon and a downside. A few gripes I found were; - The lack of later-game larger mining areas (Once you have completely set up 2 clusters, doing the other two feels like chorework, and I found myself just wanting a large room to work in.) - The inability to deal with Hackers (You must drop their outbound traffic, but I did have my third hacker spawn on something that legitimately had non-hacker replies to something else, and it cost me money) - The inability to lock things to a grid (Amazing to me this isn't a feature. This is a networking game, it WILL attract people who like pretty, lined up, organized wires and cables... but you have to eyeball everything?) - The darkness (You get one -- ONE component that *can* create light... if you put down 6 of them in a row. Creating lamps where you need them is very hard. I would love to be able to toggle if that component is a lamp or have a dedicated Floodlight item.) - The lack of an end-game. (There is one boss fight and then the game is just... done. There are two endings, so at least that's something. As mentioned before though, once you have set up one cluster, the others are of no challenge or offer any new variety. I had bought every upgrade before I even found the third Mainframe.) - The lack of an actual "score". (While you can see your network's Up/Down speeds, packets dropped and mis-directed sensitive packets are just not told to you.) - A... rather frustrating hole-fill tool and no way to build your own locations. (It would have been very nice to get some basic building blocks which allowed you to make your own little houses to place a cluster's router) - The horror monsters were... kinda silly. Nothing really frightened me, especially once I learned how each one could be fought. I was expecting more monsters in other areas but that just... never happened. --- That may seem like a lot of negatives, and it is, but don't get me wrong. I REALLY enjoyed this game. I wanted to improve my network. I spent a while optimizing some of the clusters to make them faster, for no gain other than seeing the network speed go up. Debugging things actually was fun. My mistakes were my own, and it was up to me to fix them. It's the same high as programming something on your own. When you finally find that one thing wrong and get it working, you could watch it all day. This game does that in spades. With a bit more variety in the later half, and some advertising, I could see this easily becoming a very good addition to any steam account. As it stands, the community for this game is IMMENSELY small, and that's a criminal shame. The dev team should look into getting some Youtubers to play or something -- get some word of mouth going. Both horror fans would enjoy it and those youtubers that enjoy "puzzle" games would be my recommendation. Absolutely worth the (very generously cheap) full price. As mentioned in another review, if you think this game would possibly appeal to you, it WILL appeal to you.

Good game for networking nerds. I personally find the horror elements extremely annoying when I just want to build my network in peace, but thankfully you can set the monsters to ignore you. The hackers are also annoying and don't feel like they really add an interesting challenge but maybe I just haven't figured them out yet. The final puzzle seems like too much of a headache to be worth doing but I imagine someone out there will enjoy it. The game gets the important parts right: Setting up your network feels good. Optimizing your network feels good.

At $6 I've got nearly 9 hours and I've only really "completed" the first of 4 areas. That's a Dollar to Hour ratio I'm very comfortable with. Great gameplay if you've got an eye for logic and optimization. My only gripe is I prefer the networking more than I do the hostile environment. I'd enjoy an option to disable enemies and hackers altogether, even if they are integral to the plot.
