Gameplay Mechanics
Players explore a 3‑D space station, solving puzzles that mirror real security breaches. Each puzzle requires logical thinking and the application of hacking concepts rather than reflex‑based combat.
The core loop involves scanning networks, brute‑forcing web directories, and ultimately executing a reverse shell to gain admin access. The game promises that you will never get stuck, guiding you through each step.
- Observe network patterns before scanning.
- Document each successful command for later reference.

Hacking Tools
A virtual terminal provides access to classic security utilities: nmap for network discovery, dirb for directory brute‑forcing, and password lists for authentication attacks. These tools function within the game's secure environment.
Advanced utilities such as John the Ripper and reverse shells are also available, enabling password cracking and privilege escalation once a vulnerability is identified.
- Start with nmap to map the target.
- Use password lists before custom brute‑force.

Tutorial System
The game includes a comprehensive cybersecurity tutorial aimed at beginners. It teaches the various hacking techniques step by step as you complete missions, so you can learn the tools as you go.
For players with Linux or programming experience, the tutorial builds on existing knowledge, introducing more complex techniques as the story progresses.
- Review each tutorial segment before starting a mission.
- Take notes on new commands for later use.
