Navigate the perilous waters of the digital underworld as Torrent Empire challenges you to manage servers, crack software, and outsmart authorities. Will you rise to become a digital legend or crash and burn?
About this game
The decisions you make will affect the growth and survival of your torrent site. If you grow too fast and carelessly, authorities might come after you—unless you know how to evade them. If you neglect your users, they might abandon your site. Balancing these two is crucial. As the game progresses, new software is released, technologies change, and you need to adjust your strategy accordingly.
What can you do?
Different File Types and Mini-Games
Games are quite popular, but users will also eagerly await applications. And let’s not forget operating systems. Various mini-games await you to crack these. An unsuccessful site manager is quickly noticed—don’t forget that!
Advanced Upgrades
You’ve cracked the software; now you want to upload them to your site to get people to notice you. I assume you don’t expect high internet speeds or 1 TB of storage space in the year 2000. Therefore, as you earn money, you need to upgrade these. Who wants to wait dozens of minutes to upload a software?
Advertisements
Ah, of course… the best way to make money is through ads! Yes, your site users won’t be happy about it, but if they want to continue using this service, there’s a price to pay, and they have to endure it. Choose the most profitable among banner, pop-up, or misleading ad offers.
Hack Missions
Need more money? You might need to infiltrate some companies’ servers for extra income. Who would entrust such a task to a novice hacker? First, you need to prove yourself in the market. Then, some will approach you with small requests. If you don’t turn them down, they might give you some money in return. I don’t know if I need to say this, but the authorities won’t be too pleased about this situation.
Competition with Rival Sites
If your torrent site is doing well, rival sites naturally won’t be too happy about it. Therefore, you can expect them to launch various attacks against you constantly. Actually, when you think about it, maybe this is their way of showing affection towards you.

1.0.4 Patch Notes
Hello, Thank you so much for the interest you've shown in the game and the amazing feedback you've provided! With this patch, I've fixed various bugs in the game and added a few new features. You can find the details below. You could already access some of the following adjustments with the updates I released for the current version. Additionally, I am working on making the windows currently in the game more fluid and user-friendly, and making the mini-games more enjoyable. I will release these updates as soon as possible. Changes - Added country flags to language selection in the menu. - Adjustments were made to window opening and closing animations. - Added "cancel_mission" command if you do not want to complete the current mission. It marks your current mission as failed and allows you to connect to the next mission. (Note: To use the command, you must connect to the current mission's IP address at least once.) - Fixed the issue where the "connect" command did not work with "alias". - Added "effects" command to the menu for in-game effects that might strain your eyes. You can turn off many effects with this command. I will expand it to cover more effects in the future. - Dedicated Server activated. You can now increase your visitor capacity up to 5000. - Fixed a bug related to achievements. - The server shutdown message has been adjusted based on how it was shut down. - Added a warning in the menu indicating if developer mode is active. - Added informative messages when you use developer commands. - The "cd .." command now also works as "cd..". - Usage expanded so you can use the "dir" command instead of the "ls" command. - You can bulk delete all files in your current directory on the VDS with the "rm*" command. - Automatic command completion activated in VDS. Note: This update is compatible with your old save file. However, for a better gaming experience, I recommend starting a new game. Apart from all these, I also made minor fixes.

You can find the details below. Changes - File system commands have been adjusted. - A badge will now appear on the screen when you complete a mission on the VDS. - Time limits for missions have been removed. You can now complete a mission assigned to you whenever you want. (However, the previous mission must be completed or failed to connect to the new mission's server.) - Trace Level increase in early-stage missions has been made more balanced. - You will no longer receive attacks via the Server Network if your server is offline. - Bug fixes and improvements were made to mini-games in the Server Network. - Fixed positioning errors and sizing issues occurring in many windows. - Tutorial colors have been made independent of theme colors and readability has been improved. - Translation errors in the first mission tutorial were fixed and new content was added. - Improvements were made to the appearance of the menu. - Fixed an issue where the volume of some notification sounds could not be adjusted. - Fixed a bug that caused the tutorial not to progress when using cd and ls commands in missions. - Developer mode added. (Commands for developer mode are hidden somewhere in the game waiting for you.) Note: This update is compatible with your old save file. However, for a better gaming experience, I recommend starting a new game. Apart from all these, I also made minor fixes.

1.0.2 Patch Notes
Hello, Thank you so much for the interest you've shown in the game and the amazing feedback you've provided! With this patch, I've fixed various bugs in the game and added a few new features. You can find the details below. New Notepad I added a new notepad for things you want to take notes on in the game. You can take as many notes as you need at any point, such as missions or TSX prices. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45610558/bcda27a91e90ee897f9197350a114cb96bc6f820.png Game Over Screen I refreshed the game over screen that appears if your Attention level reaches 100. On this screen, I added an option where you can continue with your current save file starting with an Attention level of 50. Of course, your domain address needs to change so that the authorities don't notice you, even if for a short time. Changes - When you adjust the volume from the Music window, it now only changes the volume of the music. - Various translation errors in the menu were fixed and improvements were made to the menu appearance. - Fixed a bug that prevented you from seeing current progress when you accepted an ad campaign. - Fixed an issue in the Upgrades window where an upgrade could be purchased even though it was not yet eligible. - Adjustments were made regarding the locations of threats appearing in the Server Network. - Added a button to shut down the server to the Server Statistics window. (Keeping your server closed causes serious negative effects.) - You now receive a notification when you complete a mission. Note: This update is compatible with your old save file. However, for a better gaming experience, I recommend starting a new game. Apart from all these, I also made minor fixes.

1.0.1 Patch Notes
Hello, Thank you so much for the interest you've shown in the game and the amazing feedback you've provided! With this patch, I've fixed various bugs in the game and added a few new features. You can find the details below. VPN System and Mission Feedback You can buy a VPN product from the store and activate it during missions to increase your Trace Level more slowly while performing tasks on the VDS and to avoid getting caught by the firewall. Also, when you complete a mission, a notification sound now accompanies you, and additionally, an indicator icon showing the mission status has been added. Software on Your Site If you wish, you can remove the software you have uploaded to your website. To save storage space, you can remove old software and re-upload it later if you want. Changes - You can view files and folders located directly in a directory using the ls command. (For example: ls /etc) - Translation errors fixed. - Fixed a bug that caused the help command to increase your Trace Level while performing a task on the VDS. - Improvements made to the Website window. - Fixed a bug where an attack you resolved in the Server Network did not disappear. - Balancing adjustments made regarding the increase of Attention. Note: This update is compatible with your old save file. However, for a better gaming experience, I recommend starting a new game. Apart from all these, I also made minor fixes.
