About the Game

You're a skilled computer engineer, but your darkest secret has fallen into the wrong hands. Someone is blackmailing you, forcing you into a high-stakes game of hacking and espionage. Your task? Break into servers, steal sensitive data, and fulfill their demands. But the question lingers—will you carry out their missions, or will you track them down and seek revenge?

In this immersive, interactive story, you take on the role of a computer engineer working through a command-line interface. You have access to a wide range of hacking commands and can infiltrate increasingly secure servers. As you progress, the risks and pressure grow greater.

  • Hack and Connect: Use your tools to penetrate firewalls, exploit weaknesses, and outwit defense systems.

  • Download and Manipulate: Secure the files you need, but beware—every move you make is being watched.

  • Adapt and Evolve: Modify your tactics as new challenges arise, from firewalls to counter-hacking attempts. Each success brings you closer to either freedom or further entanglement.

One way to find out: Dive into the gripping world of Extortion and choose your path.
