HackHub - Ultimate Hacker Simulator

Finally hacking game with real or little changed command prompts

Does not run on Fedora KDE, tried to reinstall the game, run in a window, tried different versions of Proton, nvidia drivers, everything works on a laptop under windows 11, it's a shame

Не цепляет как-то совсем, чрезмерно аркадно. Да ещё и баги.

;)

This game has a very specific audience. If you are part of that audience you're in for a treat. Very realistic hacking simulator, worth it to relax a bit, or maybe even to learn some new skills..

I'm pretty happy with this. Not perfect. I think if it were me the thing I'd be working on now is greatly expanding freedom. You can already do some fun things (even in singleplayer, which is all I've done so far) like reply to NPC social media. But what you can't do is sneaky things that SHOULD work (by real world standards) but don't. For example, there's a small mission (not really a story thing so I wouldn't consider it a spoiler) where you hack someone's bank account. The person asking you to steal their money and send it to them doesn't know how much they have. What I tried to do was send a massive chunk to myself and send them a smaller piece. They clearly don't have a way to access the account, or they'd be doing it themselves, so there's no way they'd know the difference. What happened instead was the money transfer to my own account failed for Reasons, and the one to theirs worked perfectly fine. Now, I get why it was done that way. The amount of money I was looking at was wayyyy too much for how early in the game that is. Maybe too much period, I don't know yet. I don't blame the devs for not letting me do that at all. But I'd like SOMETHING. I don't even know what, it's just not satisfying to simply run up against a brick wall (with no explanations or justifications for how or why it's there) when trying to do what felt to me like the obvious trick to pull. That's the kind of thing I think this is missing. As long as you're following instructions or following the specific paths the dev had in mind, it's great. But going off script will give you a quick and immersion breaking wall to your face. To reiterate: I haven't done multiplayer. From what I saw in the patch notes about it, I suspect this won't be nearly so big a problem in multiplayer. But for singleplayer, at least for the part of the game I've been able to get through so far? While I love it, the guardrails are obvious, there's only one possible route to success, and most troubling of all there's rarely an in-game reason why I can't do various things. They just... don't work, when according to the game's rules and imagined world, they really should. I've done a lot of complaining. I don't want to double the length of this, so to keep it simple: I love the way this game feels (other than those guardrails) like you're operating in our world. So many small things. There's variations on everything from Google and Discord to Spotify and bank accounts. You can reply to some messages with whatever words you want. If you've hacked into someone's social media account, you can (after posting whatever you're required to) post whatever you feel like on their account. Lots of little things like that. The little handbook they created is also very helpful for me and my awful memory. ALMOST everything I would forget has an entry. So yes. Despite all my words towards a single criticism, for me it's overwhelmed by the positives.
