About this game
hackSociety is an immersive, online hacking simulator. In a persistent online world, you'll explore a unique array of opportunities and gameplay paths as a hacker. It modernizes the old, dead genre of 'click hack, steal their money, repeat'. You'll build custom exploits and malware, make them work and bypass antivirus detection, and pick what you want to specialize in.
Do you want to get into the crypto market? Steal it from your victims, or would you rather harvest your compromised systems into a botnet and mine it instead? Or keep your laundered funds safer in a bank account, with less risk? Or maybe mining crypto doesn't interest you, and you'd rather use your botnet to DDoS other organizations and win territorial disputes with those who dare stand against you and your crew.
A lot is possible in this world. Will you be one of the greats who makes a name for themselves, or will you be washed away? Play for Free today and begin your journey in hackSociety.
Features
Viruses & Exploits - Just like in the real world, malware comes in strains. Named, categorized threats. In this game, it's no different. You'll choose what you are creating, name it, and unleash it strategically on targets you think are vulnerable. You can't be careless. Messing with the wrong people will quickly get your virus detected. It would be smart to scan your targets before attacking to gauge where their defenses are vulnerable. If you are prominent and powerful enough, your virus and its name will become infamous.
Simulated Environment - The world reacts to you. The in-game crypto market is dynamic and always moving. Invest in the long term, and you can become leagues richer than your enemies. Collectible hNFT items are like property, with varying supply and rarity. You'll trade, auction, and barter with real people trying to control a live market to make even more money and premium currency. The better you are at it, the more gameplay buffs and powers you can acquire unique to most others.
Manage a Botnet - Pool your compromised systems together and use their processing power for your own. Mine crypto, use the power to defend yourself from attacks, or go offensive and use the power in coordinated DDoS attacks with your organization.
Organizations & Social - hackSociety is a very social game. Making friends and working with people you know can make or break you. Organization Tournaments pay out in heaps, with premium currency you'll need to upgrade your tools. It also doesn't hurt to have your name attached to the most fearsome, powerful organizations around on the network. You'll customize your profile to your liking, and flex your inventory and status with it in the in-game chat.
Defenses - You're a target too. In hackSociety, you'll need to learn how to keep yourself safe from people like yourself. Firewall, antivirus, drive encryption, and your opsec will all keep your system safe in their own way. You'll learn while playing that nothing is a catch-all. A good antivirus isn't a magic shield, and an intensive firewall has its own weaknesses.
Live Service - You can expect lots of gameplay updates and extensions of the game. The possibilities are endless with a thorough hacking simulator like hackSociety, and you and the community control the future of the game. Suggest what you think would be cool to implement into the game on our socials like the Discord, or in-game.
There's more for you to explore, and we'll leave that up to you for when the game is released. Wishlist hackSociety and be there first!
