//SO, YOU WANT TO BE A HACKER?

The Mainframe is lost, and you might be the only person still able to fight the MegaCorps. Lucky you! Your mission: dismantle capitalism one computer server at a time.

>SIPHON DATA

Data is currency, money, moolah! The MegaCorps have too much info on me, you, and everyone. You’ll be taking it back. After all, progs aren’t cheap!

>COLLECT PROGS

Progs are powers, and the MegaCorps control them all. You'll be stealing their code, and using it against them. Expect consequences.

>ZAP ENEMIES

You didn’t think the MegaCorps were going to let you reach the Mainframe without a fight, did you? The cyberstakes are high. Get disconnected too many times, and your mission starts from scratch.

>GET DISCONNECTED

The Big Three’s defenses are strong, Hacker, but you can be stronger. Pick up new tricks on every run, use the MegaCorps' progs to change the world, and find that Mainframe!


//868-BACK is a computer-hacking roguelike strategy game inspired by dungeon crawlers — but the dungeons are computer servers, and your weapons are illicit software tools. It's a game of taking risks. Every nasty situation you find yourself in is your own fault.

Backed project, tremendous

I saw corps strip farmers of water ... and eventually of land. Saw them transform Night City into a machine fueled by people's crushed spirits, broken dreams and emptied pockets. Corps've long controlled our lives, taken lots... and now they're after our souls! V, I've declared war not because capitalism's a thorn in my side or outta nostalgia for an America gone by. This war's a people's war against a system that's spiralled outta our control. It's a war against the fuckin' forces of entropy, understand? Do whatever it takes to stop 'em, defeat 'em, gut 'em. If I gotta kill, I'll kill. If I need your body, I'll fuckin' take it! Fuckin' hell ... You still don't see it. But you will one day. type shi. (I only read up until corp)

This game is so insanely good. Very challenging but deeply satisfying as you learn and improve.

Any ETA on the Android release? If so, will the apk get dropped on this itch page with the other downloads, or will we want to search it on the Play Store?
