Hacking Into Erebus is a sci-fi hacking simulator set in deep space, built entirely around remote terminal access. Infiltrate a hostile ship network through a real terminal, execute commands, exploit vulnerabilities, sabotage critical systems, and outmaneuver a crew determined to stop you.
Every System Is Connected
The USS Erebus is a living network. Power grids, life support, navigation, crew quarters — everything is wired together, and everything can be controlled. Every command you send ripples through the ship.
Four Handlers. Four Agendas.
You don't work alone — but you're not exactly a team player either. A General, an Engineer, a Biologist, and a Chemist are feeding you orders from the outside. Each one wants something from the Erebus. Classified files, biological data, system logs, structural schematics. You retrieve what they ask for.
But they're not telling you everything.
Dozens of Items to Exploit
Keyloggers, signal jammers, memory corruptors, power rerouters — the Erebus's own infrastructure becomes your weapon. Each item interacts with the ship's systems in unique ways. Learn what breaks what, and nothing is off-limits.
The Ship Has Secrets
Something happened aboard the Erebus. The crew is still there, still working and they will fight to keep you out. Distract them. Mislead them. Sabotage their systems to create openings. Infiltrate deeper.
The data you're pulling paints a picture that doesn't add up. Your handlers' stories don't align. Someone is lying to you. The only way to find the truth is to go further than any of them are asking you to go.
Compartment Zero
Every lead points to the same place. A sealed section of the ship, scrubbed from the official manifest, flagged in corrupted logs, whispered about in crew communications that were never meant to leave the ship.
What's inside Compartment Zero will change everything.
What you do with it — that's up to you.
