HTHI - One year anniversary since release

Good morning / Good evening! It's been already a year since the game has been released in Early Access on 18th September 2023. We have come a long way since the release, but a lot more is to be done to make this game what I want it to be. Here's some small summary of the journey:

  • There were 64 updates to the game since the game was released steamthis It's been a wild ride, many of the updates were done in the night - between 23-2 UTC time.
  • Many bugs have been fixed, but some still exist in current version of the game. I don't know how many of you remember what a mess it was at the beginning - and I hope to improve it much more.
  • I think big updates worth mentioning were: improving the autocompletion mechanics allowing many different autocompletions based on the context (paths, usernames, passwords, and more); complete change to the in-game web pages; Stock Market introduction; Missions app; Tor improvements; Themes introduction; ability to redirect command output to the file;
  • One important feedback I received many times is that the game is (too) difficult, and the tutorial is not helpful. I'm addressing this issue also as a part of 0.3 version. For now, if you encounter an issue, you can always ask on Steams Forum or Discord, or check out my YouTube channel which can contain some answers and useful tips that may not be self-explained in the game.
  • So far there is more than 100 players that played more than 10 hours - that is awesome steamthumbsup! But I would really love to hear more feedback from all of you, what you enjoyed and what not, what you expect from the future, what kept you playing the game. I would really love to see you add steam reviews - it helps me and other players to understand the state of the game.
Given how many changes happened since the release, I am certain that many more improvements are possible. This year has not been easy on me privately - there's some problems I had to resolve and it played a big role in slower updates for the game this year. I've been also working on my real life security knowledge, including the preparation and exam for certificates, which also took some of my focus outside of the game. The communication of the current progress of 0.3 version is probably also not sufficient. I am sorry for all that - I am optimistic as for the future, but last months were not great in terms of game progress. And yes, when it comes to 0.3 version, it is still in -slow- progress, and at this point I am certain it will not be ready for September. I really wished I have it for today - it would be perfect timing for such a big overall overhaul of the game for one year anniversary, but I missed the target. When it comes eventually, I believe it's a pivotal point for the future of the game as the game is basically being rewritten. Given history of the last months, I am really reluctant to give yet another timelines for the 0.3 update. There's a lot of moving parts that make it so difficult for me to estimate it properly. I will think about how to give more details to you in the next weeks. The one thing remains though - the game is still in active development. Thank you and happy hacking :)

  • Enter a virtual world of hacking with this real-life hacking simulator. Every choice you make will tailor a unique outcome. The possibilities are endless - if you know how to do it. With its own storyline, you can take your time and complete the required tasks and quests at your own leisure. You can even play the game in sandbox mode if you’d like!

    How To Hack In? allows you to be whatever you want to be. Whether you are a silent hacker deleting logs, leaving systems undamaged and remaining invisible, or a destroyer of all systems hacked, the choice is yours! Just remember – you will face the consequences sooner or later.

    A Real-life Hacking Experience

    You will start the game with easy hacking targets and progress to hacking banks and national services, interfering with big events – all of which will pop-up throughout the game. You may be required to perform in-depth analysis into some systems to fully understand how they work and how to penetrate them.

    Hacking tools will be provided throughout the game, including SSHCrack, Keyloggers, SQL injection, XSS, Social Engineering Toolkit, Nmap, a powerful Linux-like terminal, and many more. But - it doesn’t stop there. Some hacks will require research and reconnaissance about the target at hand. Try using social engineering techniques to hack the people and not the systems – the world of virtual hacking is at your fingertips!

    A variety of attack vectors are at your disposal. Approach each hack differently with multiple hacking options. Hijack and replace website information and create your own servers and website. Create your own scripts and tools to help with automation and task completion with the In-Game Code Editor. You can even help other players by sharing your successful scripts!

    Unique Non-player Characters

    With How To Hack In?, you have a role-playing game mixed with a hacking simulator. All NPCs have their own statistics which define their behaviour and can change throughout the game according to your, or other, NPC actions. You will only be able to interact with them on communicator on certain dates and times as they each have their own schedule.


    At certain times, they might be more active in the world, on specific servers and services, than other times. Their behaviour emulates real-user activity; meaning they can log in on social media, write posts, work on servers, and even keep to their own daily routine!

    Once you’ve gained a valuable reputation, you can join multiple, diverse hacker groups that will help you in some or other way. Lead branch-tree dialogues and make decisions as you venture through quests and tasks. This game was designed to have multiple solutions and outcomes. Who knows? Maybe the best option is the least obvious one, maybe not…?

    A Different Scenario and Outcome With Each New Game

    Every time you start a new game, How To Hack In will create new data for servers, NPCs, and event scenarios. NPCs, IP addresses, passwords, and more will all look and be different each time a new game is started. Experience something different and enter a new virtual hacking game each time you replay.

    Versatility At Its Best

    Virtual hacking has never been this versatile. What’s more, you don’t need real-life experience to play. Anyone with any amount of hacking knowledge can enjoy How To Hack In. Change the themes, manipulate the scenarios, hack the systems, be a real life – virtual – hacker!


    Add How To Hack In to your Wishlist now and bask in virtual hacking bliss. The fun begins now - if you dare to take the first step. See you on the other side.
