A systems-driven, real-time hacking sandbox in a living, procedurally generated world. Profile people, infiltrate companies, exploit networks from your terminal, automate complex attacks, erase the evidence, trade stocks and crypto, and buy or sell intelligence on an underground marketplace.

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/day in the week to Aug 28 → 0.29/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.
About
How To Hack In? is a systems-driven hacking sandbox played through your own simulated workstation.
Each new game creates a world of people, companies, networks, websites, relationships, vulnerabilities, and secrets. What you find in one place can be useful somewhere else. That might mean using personal details for social engineering, trying exposed credentials against company systems, or compromising software used by other businesses.
Follow the connections, combine what you learn, and find your way in.

NPCs have personalities, relationships, routines, and conflicts. Learn about them through social posts, files, transactions, and other information scattered across the world.
The Profiler brings those discoveries together into dossiers. Map relationships, identify useful hooks, connect people to digital assets, and use what you know to find opportunities that technical tools alone would miss.

Gather information through websites, social media, email, files, network scans, and personal dossiers. Then choose your approach:
Crack credentials and explore internal networks.
Scan for vulnerable services and move between connected machines.
Find and exploit vulnerabilities in websites and admin panels.
Profile targets, uncover Weak and Strong hooks, and choose from phishing, vishing, pretexting, bribery, or leverage.
Route connections through compromised machines and clean up logs when you are done.
Build visual scripts to automate repeatable tasks.
An operation can be technical, social, financial, or a mix of all three.

Companies have suppliers, clients, competitors, code repositories, products, infrastructure, and economic health.
Compromise the software they use and carry out supply-chain attacks. If the incident reaches the news, it can damage the company's reputation and affect its stock price.
Rent remote servers, host websites, build command-and-control infrastructure, and manage agents across compromised systems.

Trade stocks and cryptocurrency, trace transactions, and investigate scam operations - or take them over yourself. Access an underground marketplace through Tor to buy or sell intelligence, hooks, and recovered artifacts.
Choose what to do with the information you uncover. Expose wrongdoing, help a victim, use evidence as leverage, manipulate stock prices, or profit from a criminal operation.

Assign custom shortcuts to individual app windows and switch between floating and tiling modes. Save configurations of open apps, then reload your preferred layout whenever you need it. Build reusable workflows with Visual Scripting.
Develop your preferred playstyle through the Skill Tree. Your CPU, RAM, and connectivity determine what your workstation can handle, while money, tools, and access determine which paths are open to you.
Start with a tour of the workstation, use the searchable Wiki for quick reference, and turn to Guided Mode or Hackopilot when you need more specific guidance. Interactive Academy lessons teach key systems by letting you use them.

Jul 2026 The bones for a great game are in place. Compared to other games in the genre, there are significant gaps in features, and a pretty big lack of content. I'm giving a positive review to encourage the dev to keep at it. If you are on the fence, today I would say there is better value for money in other games in the genre.
Gameplay is not smooth. terminal works like ♥♥♥♥. over priced at the moment
Very fun, great game! nice lab for linux command-line simulation, tool help and tinkering, scripting, and puzzle-solving. not yet: subnetting, social engineering, 3d world, inbound hacks not completely realistic in the sense that tools aren't named the same and some steps are done for you, so you wont learn completely how to use your favorite flavor of debian, but its a really fun game and nice practice lab for linux regardless.

I fully support small devs sticking their neck out there big respect! While this is for sure an early access game I do like the flow it's currently going through, I also play Grey Hack so i decided to support the dev and also test how it stacks against other games I play in the hacker/programmer series. Here's my full review :) https://www.youtube.com/live/4rueqQxROO0 Keep going tho! so much potential! For the price tho consider lowering it, the price point really does kill the partial functionality of the system your building
cool hacking simulator.
great game
Very fun so far!
Sehr realistisch, auch die Tools, sind gerade nur die Bezeichnung der Tools meist etwas verfremdet, aber ansonst wie in der Distrub Kali-Linux größtenteils gleich. Ausgezeichnet zum Üben. Als Zusatzübungssandbox a la tryhackme oder hackthebox zu empfehlen.
yes
ich kann es nicht spielen, tutorial fehlerhaft und im spiel passiert gar nichts, keine mission hmmmmmmmmmmmm
