Grey Hack

A fun, educational game that teaches the fundamentals of cybersecurity. I've never seen a game go to such lengths to create a virtual sandbox where you can practice both safely and unsafely. Playing this and PC Building Simulator really highlights the lack of good lab environments in higher education. Simply put: this game is a far better lab for learning cybersecurity than the dated online learning management lab systems used by most schools. Not saying a replacement for school just a better lab over 99% of online labs.

One of the most inconsistent experiences money can buy. You got a tool up and running and which you understand? BOOP its gone now. Because ♥♥♥♥ you. You like single player more? BOOP you cant play it anymore, because necessary features became online only. Why? Because we hate you and already have your money. So resprectfully, ♥♥♥♥ you! :) Definetly dont buy before 1.0 and even then I`d at the very least warn against that. The game you buy now may be gone next month.

I have Security+, Network+, CySA+ certifications and ranked fairly high on one of the large hacking platforms. This is by far a more stream lined and better experience that I've personally used for red teaming. Very well done. In fact it may be better then some of the hacking platforms because of the ease of use and ability to leave the game running and come back when you need to (I have kids so finishing something in one sitting is difficult. I will say that it may be overwhelming as a complete beginner to cyber security/hacking. Def recommend some basics before even with the detailed and well thought out tutorial. Again GREAT JOB! Addicting.

Very advanced, complex, and impressive for a solo dev. I been in IT for many years and I'm still learning new things when I play this game. By far the most accurate and detailed hacking simulation. Great music & UI too. 10/10 keep it up dev

What an amazing game, I dont write alot of game reviews but this game is a genius way to teach you about hacking while not holding your hand but in a fun way. I never was able to understand or catch on to coding and writing scripts even after hours of python videos. After playing this game it encourages you to write your own scripts and make your own tools. They have there own programming language greyscript. i eventually understood how real world coding could be used in network security by making tools myself. This carries over to other languages. They are all similar. The devs have put alot of work into making this feel real and feel like your are really using a Linux operating system to hack other systems. Fun game, great community and I look forward to where the devs take this next.

Super impressive that one guy made the game, its really cool. I liked the single player experience, it teaches you the basics on network safety. One BIG DOWN SIDE is, its buggy. Not super buggy, but buggy where it really changes the fairness of the game. I probably won't play it again because of that. Renaming the log file and exiting should still show connection closed, otherwise it defeats the game's purpose. In pvp people abuse this bug to hack others and its untraceable. The game repeatedly tells you that you cant delete the logs and get away with it, so this is not a feature and is a bug that wasn't fixed. The game is like alchemy where everyone learns the game by themselves but doesn't share with others on any kind of wiki, So new players eat dirt while players who know the game just exploit the bugs in the game and hunt new players like hungry rats. Maybe its not for me. Overall, really impressive but honestly quite toxic in pvp because of the these few simple things. Will play again if it gets fixed. Until then, it was a good experience.

Where most hacking games are just puzzle games in disguise, Grey Hack offers you the sandbox and wishes you the best of luck, you're really only limited by your ever growing knowledge and creativity. It teaches you systems thinking and disguises it as a puzzle, which is very much how the hacker mindset works in reality as well. Now I'm not even remotely a cybersecurity expert, I grew up on Windows. I never wrote a functional line of code in my life. Once, as a kid, I blocked my mum's emails by filtering the port to her MAC address on our home router. She immediately assumed I did something (I denied it of course), but it opened my eyes that computers really aren't as stable as we assume. I chose not to persue it because I didn't want to risk losing my 'computer time'. Grey Hack is the safe space to explore this mindset. Which is why I find this game so compelling, you have complete and total freedom to play your way, be the villain and install ransomware on player machines, or carry out the exact same attack pattern but secure them, drop a little note and be on your way. It's purely up to you and how your personal hacker fantasy lives in you. The learning curve is real here, and it takes time, whether you're experienced in cybersec or a total beginner like myself, you need to adapt to the game world either way. The real click for me was learning that I could modify exploits to retarget Mail.txt instead of Bank.txt, so I could socially engineer my way into the network. It's not perfect, and it's not for everyone, and it requires a certain degree of flexibility, passion and curiosity to really get into it. But where that might push you way, what might draw you back in is the fact that it can be played fully at any degree of committment. Whether you choose one of the many extensive player created toolkits, write your own tools from scratch like I do, or just stick with the hackshop exploits, no other game in this genre lets you live the fantasy your way. Bravo Kurouzu, thankyou for bringing my childhood dream to life.

Grey Hack is one of the most unique games I’ve ever played on Steam. 10/10 Very Underrated!!! At first, it looks intimidating, especially if you know nothing about coding or Linux-style systems, but that’s exactly what makes it so rewarding. The game doesn’t hold your hand too much, and every command, script, exploit, server, and mistake feels like something you genuinely learned yourself. What makes Grey Hack special is the freedom. You are not just clicking buttons or following fake hacking minigames. You are using terminals, files, permissions, services, exploits, scripts, networks, logs, and tools in a way that actually makes you think. Every successful hack feels earned, especially when you write your own scripts and start automating your workflow. The learning curve is steep, but once it clicks, it becomes incredibly addictive. Scanning targets, chaining exploits, gaining access, cleaning logs, upgrading your setup, and building better tools gives the game a real sense of progression. It feels like a sandbox where knowledge is the real weapon. The community and scripting side also add a huge amount of depth. GreyScript gives you the ability to create your own tools, improve your playstyle, and approach problems your own way. Even after hours of playing, there is always something new to discover or optimise. This game is not for everyone. If you want instant action or simple gameplay, it might feel slow at first. But if you enjoy learning, experimenting, problem-solving, and slowly becoming better through actual skill, Grey Hack is genuinely brilliant. One of the best hacking sandbox games out there. Deep, challenging, rewarding, and unlike anything else on Steam. Highly recommended.
