Still may give it a shot though, I like what they are going for.Īh. Like, one think i noticed is rm * took a sec to delete everything. I'm not a sysadmin but I am a dev and end up spending most of my day on a local or remote terminal, so I'm actually afraid this game would be close enough to the real thing that I would recognize it as such, but not close enough so that it would feel wrong. I also like uplink, and although I haven't played this yet I have a similar fear. I saw someone describe it as a "text adventure" with a Uplink-like interface, seems accurate. There's some nice 90s-00s references to "1337 culture", quotes never hurt anyone. You're left with some basic commands with minimal syntax and automagical binary exploits that are used to gate progress. They took the Uplink's take on the "hollywood hacker" but didn't bring the gameplay along with it. This isn't a sandbox like Uplink, there is no money, there are no banks to hack, there are no upgrades or gameplay choices to be made (at least from as far as I've got). Very basic tasks without much payoff beyond some story progression.

I love Uplink and I'm a professional linux sysadmin but this game just feels like work. That branch ultimately leads back to the main path, though, joining CSEC, and not to a completely alternate ending. I like that alternate path, though - if you trace him back to his home computer and delete his x-server.sys he offers you a mission and when you complete it you get access to a new message board that's a little more freeform and some really cool mysterious hacking challenges. I've tried that encounter three or four times and nothing works. Even if you delete the logs first or visit his home computer before you remove that file (it's totally possible - and, confusingly, he has your stolen x-server.sys on his computer before he hacks in and takes it), no matter what you do or how fast you defend yourself he always gets in and deletes your x-server.sys. It's also useless against Naix, because I think that's a forced encounter. It executes a forkbomb (instant reboot) on any connected computer, so Vinny used it on a computer that he was connected to, and it instantly rebooted his system. It isn't really explained anywhere in game but it's meant to be run on your own home computer after running the "shell" command to defend against intruders. Only activate when someone is trying to attack, it's already in standby mode and ready to go."Trap/Trigger" thing rebooted Vinny's system before the other hacker, Naix, could do it actually. A button saying 'TRIGGER' should appear, click this to activate it.
Then, go to your local system (or wherever you want to set up the trap) and click 'Trap' once you are connected. TIP: To create a shell trap, run shell on a system (not your local system in this case) where you have admin rights and it should appear in your program GUI. Investigate logs and track him down for even more sweet revenge. When this happens, trigger the Shell trap you had set up before and it will forkbomb the guy trying to attack you. you don't delete logs and they go detective style on you and track you down through evidence left behind), you get a warning on your screen (big red one) saying that someone is trying to bypass one of your ports (the same you do to other people). With active traces (aka countdown in bottom left), if it completes, you immediately go into failsafe mode. For now, always have a Shell trap standing by in your local system.
