Wardialler

About the game

A closer look.

Wardialler is a text-based hacking adventure game. Explore arcane computer systems and comb through hacker bulletin boards searching for obscure software exploits in a fictional early-80's setting. Type, read, make notes. While some details are included to give an authentic feel, Wardialler isn't a faithful hacking simulator or strategy game (for those, I recommend Introversion's Uplink, Drizzly Bear's Hackmud or Semaeopus' forthcoming Off Grid). However, If you're after a more linear story with a hacking aesthetic, then please consider giving it a try. The game features a full-length electronica soundtrack by nervous_testpilot.
