Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.86/day in the week to Sep 11 → 2.33/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Я бы назвал игру интерактивной презентацией в мир пентеста, хотя и очень короткой, по крайней мере сейчас. Из плюсов: - Реальные/приближенные (хоть и очень упрощенные) инструменты и методики - Достаточно подробно объясняют что и как делать по ходу заданий, но и есть небольшой простор для самодеятельности в паре заданий. Из минусов: - Линейный сюжет, вариативности взломов нет, всегда есть только один вариант пройти задание/невозможно провалить его неверными действиями. - Инструментов вроде много, но каждое задание ощущается как демонстрация функционала какого-то инструмента, в последующих заданиях их практически не нужно использовать. - Не хватает контента на релизе, сандбоксных заданий или "свободной игры". Итого, если вам интересно посмотреть и "потрогать" чем занимаются пентестеры и ИБ инженеры - будет интересно. Если будет какое то развитие проекта, то прикольно, пока больше похоже на расширенную демо-версию на 2.5 часа сюжета. Но не жалею, что поддержал разрабов.
The game is good though some elements seem unfinished not being able to copy within the terminal and within the crypto / bank app transactions are not displayed. I encountered a soft block if you do not have any funds in your crypto after changing countries you are unable to purchase the charger.

This is a fun, linear experience. It's an interesting crime drama with a genuinely decent twist at the very end. This is NOT the most realistic hacking game ever made, that kind of award goes to Hacknet and YOLO Space Hacker (the latter having actual hacking with virtual machines). It's worth your time for the story. Could probably stand to be a tiny bit cheaper, and there's a LOT of AI in the thing. It's that game you'll spend a couple of hours on, (probably) like what you played, and then forget about it. This is an excellent first project, I think the dev should be proud of what they've made, and I'm sure with more patience they'll make something that'll be remembered.
крутая игрушка, разрабы постарались, не зря ждал
Great game. Story is short and once you complete it, there is nothing that would make you run it again, but huge plus to dev(s) who not only made a plausible scenarios, but also explained all basic principles behind it. There wasn't any moment that would scream "this is nonsense". Tools and websites are used correctly even when some names are bit changed. There isn't much depth in websites or tools itself, but that's fine if target audience are people starting in cybersecurity and point of the game is to introduce you to different attacks and not pure CTF style challenge.
Por 3 USD tenés un buen rato de diversión. Tocó bancar.
"Most realistic hacking game ever" Big words for a game that is this unfinished. The apps and websites might as well be PNGs, you can't click anything. Terminal is limited to one instance. You can't even access your own machines files. Game had promise, but its missing way too many features to make it feel like a real hacking simulator. And since this a full release, and not EA. I can't imagine they are planning to make this more than a linear handholdy "puzzle game"
best hacking game , only one thing...please add the possibility to open more web pages in the browser, not only one.
so i am a beginner at cybersecurity and i find this very easy and fun to play and learn at the same time i will be waiting for newer quests in the next updates
a very realistic hacking simulation game. loved it.
