Hacknet OST Hacknet Deluxe Edition Launched, Midweek Madness To Celebrate
[ 2015-10-20 22:09:13 CET ] [ Original post ]
Today marks a very important milestone for Hacknet. Thanks to the support from you, our community, we have managed to pass over 60,000 hackers playing the game, which is no small accomplishment. Our little hacking game created by a one man development team has managed to captivate the attention of so many people across the globe, and we couldn't be happier!
To celebrate, we have worked with The Otherworld Agency to release the Hacknet Original Soundtrack - 14 killer tracks from the game including artists such as Carpenter Brut, Cinematrik and Rémi Gallego. You can purchase it as a DLC update via
http://store.steampowered.com/app/408710/,
or via Bandcamp: https://theotherworldagency.bandcamp.com/album/hacknet-ost.
Another major event is the fact that Hacknet has been launched as Steam's Midweek Madness deal. Everyone who purchases the game will save 25%! We also launched the Hacknet Deluxe Edition which bundles the soundtrack. As part of this deal, the Soundtrack is also 25% off.
What's next? Matt has been rolling out minor hotfixes to support the major stability patch that was released a few weeks ago. We are fairly certain most of the major issues have been fixed, but if you are still experiencing issues, please post here.
PAX Australia is next week, and Hacknet will be featured in the PAX Rising section as one of the chosen games by Penny Arcade. If you are heading along to the show, make sure you come and say hi to Matt, and I'll be floating around between the Hacknet booth and the Surprise Attack Games booth.
After we are sure that the game is stable and there are no major bugs, onto the Mac and Linux ports!
Thanks again for the support. Enjoy the soundtrack, and we'll report back in a few weeks after PAX Australia is done!

Hacknet is an immersive, terminal-based hacking simulator for PC. Dive down a rabbit hoIe as you follow the instructions of a recently deceased hacker, whose death may not have been the accident the media reports. Using old school command prompts and real hacking processes, you’ll solve the mystery with minimal hand-holding and a rich world full of secrets to explore.
Bit, a hacker responsible for creating the most invasive security system on the planet, is dead. When he fails to reconnect to his system for 14 days, his failsafe kicks in, sending instructions in automated emails to a lone user. As that user, it’s up to you to unravel the mystery and ensure that Hacknet-OS doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
Exploring the volatile nature of personal privacy, the prevalence of corporate greed, and the hidden powers of hackers on the internet, Hacknet delivers a true hacking simulation, while offering a support system that allows total beginners get a grasp of the real-world applications and commands found throughout the game.
Real Hacking
Based on actual UNIX commands, Hacknet focuses on real hacking, not the Hollywood-style version of it. This creates a truly immersive experience and puts players right in the thick of trying to break through the firewalls.
Unlock the mystery of Bit
A hacker is dead and the media reports don’t add up. When you are contacted by his “ghost” - an automated failsafe system - you’re drawn into the dark and murky world of underground hackers.
Full immersion
You are thrust into a persistent virtual world with no “levels” or obvious game elements to break the illusion. Follow the guidance of the emails from Bit or just dive down the rabbit hole, chasing down clues and snippets of information you find as you explore different systems.
Accessible but uncompromising
Whilst not holding your hand or dumbing down, the design of the game and the learning curve enables those with no prior terminal experience to enjoy it whilst delighting those in the know.
Killer tunes
Hack to the beat of a soundtrack featuring underground artists including Carpenter Brut (Hotline Miami) and Remi Gallego (AKA The Algorithm).
Soundtrack produced in association with The Otherworld Agency.
