NULLSET You're an operator. The job is easy to say and hard to do: get in, take what you came for, and get out before the system learns your name. NULLSET is a terminal-driven hacking roguelike built for touch — no cinematic "movie hacking," just you, a command line, and a network that pushes back. Every run drops you into a live system with its own gates, defenses, and a trace you can feel tightening. Breach the perimeter, pivot deeper, pull the data — but move too loud and the Pin closes in. Get pinned, and the run ends. WHAT YOU DO - Breach systems using gates and tools you unlock, upgrade, and combine - Read the network: watch your Heat, manage your Signal, stay ahead of the trace - Play the risk — bank a clean partial haul, or push for the whole prize - Follow the story through recovered dossiers: who you work for, and why the grid looks the way it does A GAME WITH TEETH - A full journey across 11 escalating cities, each harder and stranger than the last - Difficulty tiers from DRIFT to EXTREME — pick your poison - Deep post-game for operators who clear the run: The Deep, The Well, and further down - An adaptive soundtrack generated in real time, scoring every breach as it happens - 100% offline — no account, no login, no always-online leash FREE TO PLAY, FAIR TO PLAY NULLSET is free, with ads only at natural breaks — never mid-hack. One optional purchase, the Operator's License, removes them forever. No loot boxes, no pay-to-win, no random paid unlocks. Ever. For anyone who loved Uplink, Hacknet, and terminal sci-fi — built for the device in your hand. Don't get pinned.
