Unable to even complete the first steps of the tutorial :((( Wrong control system?

The controls needs an overhaul. The response is significantly delayed. I can't play longer than a few minutes. I want to like the game, but I can't get anywhere in the game. Hopefully improvements can be made to improve the controls.

Use VPN - set up Bitcoin mining - accept contract - buy software/firmware updates Snag desired IP address - attack on IP & decrypt files there is a small time limit mostly time is consumed by mining, point & click tower/def. Players should get a un-experienced understanding of how phishing is done.

Please do yourself a favor and don't buy this game. The first three missions were more than enough to "break me", as it is horribly unpolished. I had to go through each step at least twice in every mission to have it registered as completed. The third mission is where the pieces fell apart even more then the first two missions, the game just wouldn't let me pass. I even watched video guides and did everything as shown. As an added bonus, the controls are abysmal (I don't really get the idea of using the right click on certain things, and left click on other occasions, it's quite unintuitive) and some UI elements get in each others way. I really wanted to like this game, but I can't recommend it to anyone in this unfinished state (except maybe masochists).

The games is interesting, but I'd give it only a 3/5 star rating at the moment, though it has the potential to get 5 stars from me. The main problems are the bugs. They cause you to not be able to progress through the game. Like for me, I'm currently stuck at Nick's 3rd mission because i can't click the Search button to search the IP address, and mind you, this is not my side being the problem, because i'm graduated top of my class in Computer Science. I used to help hack my lab admin's computers to find out what weaknesses there were for her and suggest how she could solve them while still letting the students use the computers properly. So this game is like, easy, for those out there who say it's hard. Only problems as I said are like the Search bug, because I can't access the Misco (lol, Cisco parody) website. So I can't hack the damn thing. I won't Hacknet easily, but this is too buggy to win. And if the story is made longer, and more content is added, it'd be perfect.

the game launches in a small window that does not take up the entire screen, but when i go to change the settings to set it to fullscreen, i cannot hover over the button before my mouse goes outside the window and the cursor inside the game stops moving.

Crappily made game, horrible interface, corny jump scares, and unintuitive game play coupled with crappy or non-existent tutorials make this a frustrating experience that doesn't pay out with plot, well-crafted horror, or really anything. Please don't buy this game.

The idea is cool but the game was poorly made, weird controls, almost no explanations, you can get stuck on a single mission because they expect you to do something that you didn't know was possible. Do yourself a favor, if you want a this type of "hacking" game, get hacknet or uplink, they are much better games. I am honestly disappointed in myself for buying this, I also spent 2 fucking hours trying to figure out how everything works so now I cannot get a refund. [spoiler]The game also has a lot of bugs, of course.[/spoiler]

Tried to play 0.2 hours but still have too much to say... This game is full of bugs. -> The game started in tiny window and I couldn't change to the fullscreen because of the mouse speed problem. Mouse speed in the game is a lot lower than the actual speed. So when I wanted to press fullscreen and move my mouse to it, mouse goes out of the game window. Closed and reopened the game anf then for no known reason, in second launch this problem was solved. -> In first task, phone bugged for me, hint arrow shows me to open the phone even if I opened the phone. -> Interestingly, the clicking doesn't work sometimes. Sometimes right click works, sometimes left click. -> Search engine is not working, cannot enter domain name to visit or cannot search anything, if it is not because of the clicking problem. ->Even if I haven't completed the first mission, 10 percent of the game already seems completed. I am not satisfied as the game is too short and full of bugs. It need serious development and bug fixes.

I really like this game it is one of the better hacking games on steam at the moment, the story line is really good i will be trying to complete the game soon after playing, on another plus side the dev is really nice and very responsive to any changes you might suggest and to fix any bugs you might find. you got to give this game a go i would give it a big 8/10, a must buy for anybody into hacking games like myself, and even if your not give it a go you might be surprised.
