PRESS KIT

// DESCRIPTION

You press PLAY and a terminal boots. A cursor blinks. Your handler, called Vane, walks you through your first breach. After that, you’re on your own.

NODE: PROTOCOL is a hacking simulation disguised as an operating system. Every window, every app, every file on screen exists inside the fiction: a custom OS built for one purpose: anonymous network intrusion.

You are a Neural Operator, a ghost in a world of 250+ live domains: 91 corporations, banks, governments, and criminal syndicates, all connected to a network you can map, probe, and tear apart from a command line.

Scan ports. Research real CVEs. Pop shells. Escalate privileges. Pivot through LANs. Intercept cell traffic. Redirect SWIFT wire transfers. Take part in ATM jacking. Clean your logs, or don’t, and watch federal investigators trace you back through every server you touched.

Your hardware is a physics simulation. Thermals spike. Breakers trip. Fans scream loud enough to give you away. Bitcoin prices swing between 20k and 200k while your miners run on stolen servers. Every connection leaves a trace. Every trace has a clock. Getting raided isn’t game over, but you’ll feel it.
