✈️ Try it

Download & Run

Download the newest build from the Release page or from our continuous integration.

Then execute HacknetOS.exe directly, we suggest run the game on Windows Terminal for a better experience.

You have to set the size of the console to at lease 220 x 50 characters to execute the game correctly. If your screen is too small to display full of the game, consider reducing the font size or DPI scaling settings.

Currently, some part of the game supports Chinese only, the i18n is on the way, stay tuned!

Enable BGM Feature

This step is optional, the game can work properly without BGM feature.

1. Purchase and download Hacknet OST
2. Run generate_bgm.ps1 using PowerShell to generate bgm directory automatically.
3. Restart the game if started, now bgm should function properly.
