Our take on Networm
The store pitch foregrounds its retro hacking fiction, but the described experience centers on a run-and-upgrade loop: handle stolen data, earn credits, install tools, and reach larger servers. Its scope is narrower than a full corporate or media simulation.
What is Networm?
Play as an anonymous hacker targeting large corporations in a retro science-fiction action game inspired by Netrunner.
Choose whether to sell or leak stolen data files, siphon credits from secret accounts, and build credibility among peers. News media reacts to the data released, showing consequences for those actions. Earnings can fund hardware upgrades, ICE-breakers, and other tools. These additions enable runs on larger and more lucrative servers.
