EXAPUNKS (tuxdb.com)

The year is 1997. You used to be a hacker, but now you have the phage. You made a deal: one hack, one dose. There’s nothing left to lose… except your life.
EXAPUNKS is the latest open-ended puzzle game from Zachtronics, the creators of Opus Magnum, SHENZHEN I/O, TIS-100, and more.

UPDATE: Wrapping up Early Access, part 1 of ???

Today's update includes the first set of changes inspired directly by player feedback as we get ready to leave Early Access. Full details are as follows:

Added an animation for when EXAs communicate using the M register.
Added the ability to click on a puzzle leaderboard in the puzzle list to see the complete leaderboard with all of your Steam friends.
Added a button to the test run completion overlay that allows you to dismiss it so that you can watch your solution unobstructed.
Fixed a bug where enemy EXAs would sometimes disappear in hacker battles.
Changed the EXA / file window highlight to emphasize the entire window, not just the title bar.
Enabled auto-repeat for the undo and redo keyboard shortcuts.
Added support for undoing (and redoing) solution name changes.
Added support for the numpad arrow keys. You should now be able to use them wherever you can use the conventional arrow keys.
Added support for Ctrl+Backspace in the solution name text field.
