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.
