Netspectre

Become an elite hacker-for-hire in an evocative cyberpunk world. Infiltrate corporate networks, build your unique rig from powerful hardware and modules, and prepare for the final run that will change the world forever!Infiltrate procedurally-generated networks to fulfill your contracts. Breach barriers, disrupt sentries, exploit weaknesses, and reach your mission target before the network cuts you out. Every run challenges your logical thinking and ingenuity as you manage resources, choose your next sequence of moves, and evaluate risks and rewards.Evade the traceMost of the time, you're free to plan your next move carefully. But sooner or later, a real-time trace will force you to act under pressure, testing your decisiveness and ability to execute when every second counts.

Make your hacking rig your own, from the kernel at its heart to the memcard hosting the modules that power your abilities in the network runs. Expand the build with up to six powerful ACEX chips if you can afford it.Who will you be this time?A hellraiser hothead packin' a punch, in-and-out before the trace can catch them? A covert spectre the netsec admins never realise was even there? A toolkit master, combining their modules to craft a precise answer to every situation? With 120+ components to build with, each machine becomes its own web of synergies, trade-offs, and opportunities.Final touchesOptimise the components further on your own time in order to unlock their full potential, but every hour spent tinkering is an hour closer to the final run. Time is your most precious resource, so spend it wisely.

Meet your contacts in grimy bistros, earn money in side hustles, buy a cute pink mutant spider, or just have a drink on the rooftop and watch the skyline with the other desperate misfits, figuring out your next move. HustleBetween the hacking runs, navigate the intricate social networks of the city just as smoothly as the cybernetic ones. Scour the markets for the best components, negotiate the most lucrative contracts, or just chill in Fractal and see where the night takes you. You cannot do it all, though, and each decision has consequences.Play as a different hacker in every playthrough and discover more about the Netspectre universe each time. Learn to adapt to the requirements of different contracts, construct a unique machine built around whatever tools the market currently offers, and seize unique narrative opportunities born from the procedural chaos of life in the megacity.ProgressionUnlock new features through key victories, and steadily expand the market's inventory of hardware and modules through achievements that reward both success and persistence. Customize each run's length and difficulty to match your goals, whether you're experimenting with new strategies or tackling the toughest challenges the city has to offer.
