About
Project: AFTERSHOCK is a narrative-driven Arcade Hacking Roguelite set in a dystopian future.
You are Dr. Rudolf Reinhardt Richter, who was once known as "The Architect". You built the nation's neural grid. The Regime branded you a traitor and buried you in a cell to silence you. But last night's suspicious "earthquake" shattered the prison walls.
Now, you are operating from a forgotten bunker you built 20 years ago. In front of you is a legacy terminal. The Regime is hunting for digital footprints, but they are blind to your analog signals.
They think the quake is over... But the real shockwave is coming.
Reflexes are your only weapon. You have 3 seconds to breach the Regime's firewalls.
BE FAST: Identify the correct data nodes, decrypt the files, and siphon the funds.
BE CAREFUL: Avoid traps and aggressive AI countermeasures like AEGIS.
EVOLVE: The basic law of nature: If you want to survive, you must evolve. Use the funds stolen from the Regime to upgrade your legacy hardware in the Black Market.
Retro-Industrial Atmosphere: No fancy 3D models. Just you, the hum of a CRT monitor, glitchy analog sounds, and the raw tension of green code on a black screen.
Roguelite Progression: Did you get caught? No problem. Keep your hardware upgrades and come back stronger.
Narrative Unfolding: You are hacking with a goal: Learn the truth, dissolve the system. Decrypt logs from The Regime to uncover the conspiracy and bring down The Regime
Advanced Defense Systems: No two hacks are the same. The Regime’s firewall adapts, creating infinite puzzle variations to test your skills.
YOUR MISSION: Drain their accounts, activate the "Project: Aftershock" protocol, and clear your name.

It was a truly hacking experience. Would hack again 10/10
I've been following and playing this game since the demo first dropped. Throughout the development process, I've had the chance to provide feedback and see how much it actually shapes the game. The developer has truly internalised the 'Customer Obsession' principle. They are incredibly responsive, incorporating what players want to see and, more importantly, having the courage to instantly remove features that don't work, even if they spent days building them. Since it’s in Early Access, I definitely believe it deserves a chance. If the developer maintains this momentum, I'm confident the game will reach much greater heights. Worth keeping an eye on.
I added this to my wishlist after enjoying the demo, and seeing the affordable price made it an easy choice to pick up. The Early Access version has a lot more content compared to the demo, and I can see even more being added as the player base grows. If you're someone who can't commit hours at a time to gaming, this is a great atmospheric title for 3-5 minute breaks to just relax and decompress. Definitely worth a try!
Great game to kill time for an hour or two. The story is decent but needs more depth. It’s going to be much more fluid once it's fully polished.
Kafa dağıtmalık tadında bir indiegame. Demo sürümünden bu yana epey gelişim gösterdi, tam sürümünü bekliyoruz
A cool little hacking theme game for both casual players and competitive players with high reflexes. You can kill a few quick ten to twenty minutes or compete with your friends via the global rankings.
I've playing that game since the demo, and the progress is honestly incredible. It's not just about random clicking anymore the tactics I mean the tactical depth and way you have to follow instructions to progress make it so much more engaging. I love that! The dystopian atmosphere is spot on which you can read on the description part and also the tension of having limited time to breach firewalls keeps you on edge. Additionally, what really gets me is the story hacking is not just for the sake of it, but to uncover the truth and take down the regime. Amazing and brilliant work!
I was really impressed by the CRT/tube TV aesthetic. Since I enjoy immersive games, I wanted to give it a try, and it definitely surpassed my expectations for an Early Access title. I was also impressed by both the story and the graphics. It has great potential to become even better as development continues, and I’m looking forward to future updates.
a cool little hacking game. even though you can still see many points to polish, it's an early access game and I have to say the developer seems much more sincere than most "early access" games out there. You can directly contact him and tell your criticisms which is cool, I've played the demo as well and you can see he adds things little by little with frequent updates. at this current state, it's still a fun game if you want to just wind off or let some time pass for 7-8 minutes. With more dynamics and perhaps the branching story promised in the early access q&a, this game could become a thrilling 2-3 hour journey. if you like the hacking theme, give it a go. TL&DR: hacking game still developing with an attending dev, pretty cool and worth the almost free price so far.
