About the Game

IdleOS is a terminal-inspired idle game where every command brings you one step closer to a larger and more efficient system.

Start with a single mining process and gradually unlock new ways to gather, combine, and buy powerful resources to strengthen your capabilities. Expand into Parsing, Cracking, Matching, Phishing, Decoding, and Hacking as you build the resources needed to take on increasingly difficult targets through an intuitive auto-battle like hacking system.

Successful hacks reward valuable caches that can be decoded for resources, rare items, and other rewards. Sell valuables on the marketplace, purchase upgrades and offensive tools, accept contracts, and continually improve your efficiency to tackle more challenging targets.

As your system grows, you'll unlock new processes, increase production rates, discover better rewards, and optimize your strategy for maximum growth. Whether you're actively issuing commands or browsing the marketplace for upgrades, there's always another log to parse, cache to decode, or target to hack.

Features:

• Terminal-inspired game play with command-driven interactions

• Unlock and upgrade specialized processes including:

  • Mining - Mine various resources to be used in other processes.

  • Parsing - Parse through logs and other items for a chance at a random assortment of items.

  • Cracking - Crack encrypted passwords and PINS so they can be used effectively elsewhere.

  • Matching - Combine multiple items to create a more useful item to be used in hacking targets.

  • Hacking - Once enough resources are gathered, attempt hacking over 40+ targets of various difficulty.

  • Decoding - Cache rewards from hacking require decoding to find the valuable resources within.

  • Marketplace - Use the Data you gather as the main currency in IdleOS to purchase various upgrades and deadly hacking attacks in the marketplace.

• Gather resources to strengthen your system and unlock new opportunities

• Hack increasingly difficult targets to earn larger rewards

• Decode recovered caches for resources, valuables, and rare discoveries

• Buy upgrades, offensive tools, and contracts through the online marketplace

• Sell recovered valuables to fund your continued growth

Build the most efficient system possible, crack tougher targets, and uncover increasingly valuable rewards.
