An action puzzle game where you play the role of a hacker. Take down megacorporations by invading their servers to download and destroy data. Install backdoors, manipulate data and sentinel programs, find safe routes to avoid being traced or eliminated.
## About This Game
nullptr is an action puzzle game that requires careful planning and precise
execution. Once you’re connected to one of the servers ports, you have 30
seconds to hack security systems, manipulate data, evade sentinel programs and
download data. Your goal is to find or create safe routes to download and
destroy all databases in each server without being traced and eliminated.
## Hacking servers
You start each level disconnected from the server and must choose an open port
to start your run. Ports are color coded and give you access to different
parts of the server and also to different systems. Once connected to the
server, you have the option to open more ports by installing backdoors that
will give you additional entry points to attack the server.
## Connection route
In order to download the server data, you must build a connection from an
entry point to the database. The connection length determines the download
time so it is wise to choose short routes. You will also need to evade
security systems in your route, like firewalls that will block downloads. The
route you take is also important to open gates in some servers. Data nodes
included in a route contribute with their color to the connection profile that
is used to match and open the gates.
## Sentinel programs
Each server in the game is owned by one of the four megacorporations in the
world of nullptr. In order to protect their data, each megacorporation has
installed their own sentinel programs whose goal is to trace invaders and
eliminate them. Fortunately, you are a hacker and once you understand how each
program works, you can manipulate them by choosing specific routes or moving
data on the server using the stack memory.
