The game's story is presented through a series of short missions that introduce players to hacking concepts, though many find the initial missions to be somewhat bland and formulaic, often revolving around simple tasks like "hack x" or "change my grades." While the gameplay is engaging and the hacking mechanics feel realistic, players express a desire for more complex narratives and varied mission objectives in the full release. Overall, the story serves as a basic framework that shows promise but requires further development to enhance player engagement.
- “The first missions have already convinced me and made me want more.”
- “It is quite satisfying to encounter more complex attack scenarios as the story progresses.”
- “The demo missions were a good introduction to a variety of simplified but realistic feeling hacking tools.”
- “The game nails the CTF vibe with real terminal commands and a Linux-like interface, but the missions are quite bland ('hack x', 'change my grades') and the dialogues feel AI-written.”
- “Quest submissions (email replies) and other input fields are overly finicky, requiring specific formatting like removing quotation marks or punctuation.”
- “At the moment you have to follow the missions to the letter.”

The monetization aspect of this game is criticized for being essentially an advertisement masquerading as a product, offering no real value to gamers. Users express frustration over misleading marketing practices that prioritize visibility over genuine game development, arguing that such tactics clutter the marketplace and detract from legitimate offerings. Overall, the consensus is that this approach is harmful and unworthy of gamers' time and attention.
- “If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on YouTube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising.”
- “Usually the purpose of these advertisements is to get you to shell out money to the developer to buy the full product, but the developer hasn't bothered actually making a product you can buy, leaving this as an advertisement for nothing.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
