Four suspects. One hacker. One terminal.
This is BRUTEFORCE. A thrilling terminal-based mystery.
It is 1996. Early morning. The player, a hacker, suddenly receives word of an attack on the ceasefire negotiations.
Something has got to be done. And you are the one with the skillset to do it.
A contact offers you four suspects. An investigation is necessary. Perhaps one that goes beyond that which the law can condone.
The hacker's only tool is a old computer that is suffering from heat issues.
We recommend fetching a pen and a piece of paper for this one. Strange, I know, but you might need it for the investigation.
If you love detective novels/shows, or are a fan of terminal-based hacking games, you will likely enjoy this.
Gameplay tips:
The help command is your friend.
Read the chat message in the introduction carefully!
As the computer is suffering from heat issues, you should be wary when the screen turns a warm shade. When this happens, you should 'restart' the terminal.
Game length: 20 minutes to 1 hour (or more). But feel free to check it out even if you don't have the time for a full run!
*Developer's note: All characters and locations depicted are entirely fictional. Any real life similarities are coincidental. We hope you enjoy our game.*
*Patch notes:*
*V. 1.01: Minor bug fixed. Thanks @bjakubowski!*
*V. 1.02: Readability issue on certain devices fixed.*
