## What is Daemon Node?

DAEMON NODE

You're a hacker. Not the movie kind. The real kind — the kind who plans an attack for weeks before pressing Enter.

Cipher recruited you.


AESTHETIC

No cyberpunk neon. Mr. Robot — phosphor green terminal on black. IRC dialogue. Tools named like real life: nmap, john, psql, tshark. Plausible OSINT: HIBP, search engines, KvK registries, Wayback archives.


GAMEPLAY

- One-handed landscape play.
- No keyboard input — everything is tap-based.
- Five sections: Chat, OSINT, Terminal, Evidence Board, Darknet.
- Tiered hint system: Cipher steps in when you're stuck (your grade pays for it).
- Grades S/A/B/C/F per mission. Moral verdict tracked separately in M3.


WHAT'S NOT IN THE APP

- No real network connections. 100% offline.
- No functional hacking tools — everything is scripted fiction.
- No data collection. No ads. No IAPs.
- No third-party SDKs, no trackers.


LANGUAGES

French and English, fully translated.


ACCESSIBILITY

VoiceOver compatible. Dynamic Type supported.


REQUIREMENTS

iPhone, iOS 18 or later, landscape mode.
