Hacknet turns three; has been played by over 1.4 million people, is on sale again!
In that time, Hacknet has been played by over 1.4 million people. That number being so huge was helped a lot by the two 48 hours free giveaways we did recently, but even those bumps aside, the success and reach of the game has been so incredible. Thankyou so much to every one of you that played the game, spoke about it, recommended it, worked on extensions, hung out in the discord (https://discord.gg/7cHhVT9), and helped Hacknet become what it is today. It means the world to me.
So Hacknet’s on sale again!

I’m working on a brand new game now. It’s going to be something completely different - I needed a change of pace after 6 years of Hacknet stuff. I’ll be posting updates about that on my Twitter ( www.twitter.com/Orann ) when I’m ready!

Surprise Attack Games is now Fellow Traveller
Today our publisher, Surprise Attack Games, is relaunching as Fellow Traveller.
To celebrate, Hacknet is on sale along with the rest of their catalogue. Check out their publisher sale page for all the details - https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/fellowtraveller.
Here’s some more from the team at Fellow Traveller on what the change is all about:
Hacknet is FREE on Steam for 48 hours only
We are currently giving away Hacknet for FREE via Steam for 48 hours only as part of a special promotion. Described by Kotaku as “the closest thing I’ve seen to a real life hacking sim”, the command line interface game will lead you on an adventure down a digital rabbit hole as you search for answers surrounding the mysterious murder of a hacker known only as “Bit”.
You can download the game from the Hacknet store page.
Should you love your experience with Hacknet, be sure to pick up the major expansion, Hacknet Labyrinths, leave a review, and spread the word about the free game via your social feeds, tagging @Hacknet_OS.

Hacknet Deluxe is free via Humble
Our friends over at Humble are currently giving away Hacknet Deluxe for free as part of their Spring Sale promotion. Those who head on over to the Humble Store can sign up for a free Humble account, and they will be delivered a Steam key for the base game and the awesome OST.
So tell all your friends, and for those who haven't picked up Hacknet Labyrinths yet, Humble are also running a 25% off promotion which will provide you with the ultimate Hacknet experience.
