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.

READ ZINES - Learn to hack from TRASH WORLD NEWS, the underground computer magazine. Tutorials, hacking tips, secret information, searing commentary— TRASH WORLD NEWS has you covered.
WRITE VIRUSES - Program your EXAs (EXecution Agents) to tear through networks, replicate themselves, trash files, terminate other EXAs— and leave without a trace.
HACK EVERYTHING - Hack banks, universities, factories, TV stations, highway signs, game consoles, the government... oh yeah, and your own body.
SLACK OFF - Play ПАСЬЯНС, if you hack the server where it’s stored. Or play HACK*MATCH, if you hack the region lock on your Sawayama WonderDisc. Or create your own homebrew games for the TEC Redshift… if you hack the development kit.
TAKE DOWN YOUR FRIENDS - Compete with your friends by running your programs directly against theirs in all-out hacker battles. Make every cycle count.
CREATE YOUR OWN PUZZLES - Create your own networks to hack, and share them with the world on Steam Workshop.

EXAPUNKS has left Early Access!

After a few months of bug fixes, feature improvements, and the addition of a new bonus campaign, EXAPUNKS has left Early Access! To mark the release we're offering a 20% launch discount, available for the next week.

If you missed the EXAPUNKS limited edition pre-order, we still have a few copies available! The package includes a professionally printed copy of each of the two zines, plus a pair of 3D glasses for the TEC Redshift and the mysterious secret envelope. It does not include the game, which must be purchased separately. Orders are $20 in the USA and $30 outside, which both include shipping. Send me an email (zach@zachtronics.com) if you're interested.
