About the game
Dark Looter is a browser-based hacking simulation game. Build your rig, steal files from virtual institutions, mine cryptocurrency, and climb the hacker ranks — all in a persistent online world.
Original Steam description
Hack the system. Own the network.
DarkLooter is a hacking simulation played through a retro desktop operating system. Attack virtual institutions, steal their files, sell them on the black market, and turn the profits into better hardware — all in a persistent online world shared with other players.
Hack institutions
- Attack six institutions of increasing difficulty: System, App, Social, Corporation, Bank and Government.
- Each target holds a different file type (.log, .cfg, .data, .corp, .bank, .gov) with its own value and attack time.
- Attacks run in real time — your hardware decides how fast you finish and how many files you take.
Hack other players
- From the Cracker rank up, attack other players by IP address and steal their files.
- Get caught and your IP is exposed on the public Blacklist. Change your IP to disappear.
- Protect yourself with a Firewall and an Antivirus that detects attackers.
Build your rig
- Upgrade CPU, RAM, Disk, Internet, Firewall and Antivirus. Each upgrade takes real time to install and changes how you play.
- Manage your disk space and the hardware your attacks, mining and uploads all compete for.
Sell, mine and trade
- Sell stolen files on the Black Market for cash.
- Mine DLC (DarkLooter Coin) and trade it on a live market with a moving price chart.
- Spend DLC or Tokens on Premium, new IP addresses and more.
Climb the ranks
- Progress through five ranks — Lammer, Cracker, Black Hat, White Hat and Hacker — and unlock new targets and abilities along the way.
- Compete on the global player and society rankings.
- Unlock Steam achievements as you grow.
Join a society
- Create or join a society, define custom roles, chat with your members and earn points together.
- Challenge other societies for the top of the ranking.
A desktop for a hacker
Everything happens inside a full desktop environment: My Computer, a command-line Terminal, Logs, Blacklist, Ranking and more. Even game updates arrive as "system updates" you install yourself.
