BRUTEFORCE
Four suspects. One hacker. One terminal.
This is BRUTEFORCE. A thrilling, sandbox, terminal-based mystery.
It is 1996. Early morning. The player, a hacker, suddenly receives word of an attack on the ceasefire negotiations.
Something has got to be done. And you are the one with the skillset to do it.
A contact offers you four suspects. An investigation is necessary. Perhaps one that goes beyond that which the law can condone.
The hacker’s only tool is a old computer that is suffering from heat issues.
We recommend fetching a pen and a piece of paper for this one. Strange, I know, but you might need it for the investigation.
Developer’s note: All characters and locations depicted are entirely fictional. Any real life similarities are coincidental. We hope you enjoy our game.

Thanks for playing! Happy to hear that you enjoyed BRUTEFORCE!
I would recommend playing our newer jam game "OSTRO", but I noticed that you already found it... 😅
