Bad news first: It's not out yet, but it's coming really soon.

The premise for the game is this:

A powerful hacker configured a script that triggered if he didn't log into his computer for 14 days. If that happened, it'd send a set of instructions to someone (you!) to continue where he left, because he knew he could be caught/killed someday.

As you can see in the trailer, it'll have some HackThisSite style of hacking, and it is said that it'll use real UNIX commands to play, to make it more realistic.

The game is based on a game posted on indiedb some years ago.

Now it's about to be launched by Steam, so more audience and attention to detail can be expected.

I just love the fact that Mr. Robot's style of depicting hacking is trending right now! Would you play it? I will surely give it a try on August 12 :D
