hackmud

Use a command-line interface to explore a vast, dangerous and ever-changing computer network. In the MUD, trust is everything and fortunes can be stolen in a moment. Develop your programming and hacking skills as you learn to harvest derelict wealth, exploit security flaws of your foes, and protect your winnings.

Explore scripts created by other players and create your own. Build tools and forge alliances, or lay traps and break bonds.

Prove yourself

Learn to think like a hacker as you negotiate the harsh environment of Trust’s domain. Chart your own course through a multiplayer sandbox laden with risk and opportunity. Test real skills like cracking, coding, research and social engineering to thrive in a fully-scriptable, player-driven economy. Remember: wealth comes and goes, but knowledge endures.

An echo of the future

Encounter the denizens of the crumbling, abandoned internet of the far-future. Lonely cleaning drones pine for their absent users; malfunctioning weather networks ping each other across dead channels; strange new digital intelligences cohere and collapse in unindexed space.

EXCITING_FLUTE_SOLO_WAV vol MAX

An intuitive retro-cyberpunk text interface inspired by classic hacking movies takes you back to an earlier vision of the internet. An original electronic soundtrack by Lena Raine and Ryan Ike gets you in the zone.
