Use a command-line interface to explore a vast, dangerous and ever-changing computer network. In the MUD, trust is everything and fortunes can be stolen in a moment. Develop your programming and hacking skills as you learn to harvest derelict wealth, exploit security flaws of your foes, and protect your winnings.
Explore scripts created by other players and create your own. Build tools and forge alliances, or lay traps and break bonds.
Prove yourself
Learn to think like a hacker as you negotiate the harsh environment of Trust’s domain. Chart your own course through a multiplayer sandbox laden with risk and opportunity. Test real skills like cracking, coding, research and social engineering to thrive in a fully-scriptable, player-driven economy. Remember: wealth comes and goes, but knowledge endures.
An echo of the future
Encounter the denizens of the crumbling, abandoned internet of the far-future. Lonely cleaning drones pine for their absent users; malfunctioning weather networks ping each other across dead channels; strange new digital intelligences cohere and collapse in unindexed space.

An intuitive retro-cyberpunk text interface inspired by classic hacking movies takes you back to an earlier vision of the internet. An original electronic soundtrack by Lena Raine and Ryan Ike gets you in the zone.

10/10 gave me psychosis
This game is a masterpiece that hurts my soul. And that's not a reference to the use of JavaScript (mostly).
It is the game of my dreams in basically every way, honestly, but playing it once you escape the "tutorial" just slams you with this odd feeling. Genuinely not 100% sure how to explain the feeling; my best attempt is that it strikes you with a deep sense of nostalgia for experiences you never had, that never occurred. Like I can see how great the game is, and its biggest flaw is really no fault of its own: playerbase.
Ultimately, the game sets out to be a mmo from the terminal, Hack.net's multiplayer cousin. But you can't have a mmo without the mm. I sat here for 3 hours looking into learning JavaScript, frustrated by the lack of resources available. I found wikis from 2017, a dead reddit, a slightly less dead discord. I couldn't understand (and still don't) how there was so little engagement for such a great product. And then, I checked the player counts.
24.
At the time of writing this and as I had played previously, there were only 23 other people in game. An all time peak of 502 players. I have no idea why this is, but the game apparently was never given a shot.
The game's amazing. I can't recommend it due to lack of players, but I have to recommend it due to lack of players if that even makes any sense. I was expecting a solid base of ~20,000 players and now I'm here experiencing a tragedy lol
hackmud - the best modern mud there will be in the next coming decades.
.
I am really excited about this game. I know (very)basic coding but this games seems to take itself seriously to educate players so even someone with 0 experience may be able to start if they can read and follow instructions. I've been only 2 hours into the game going through the new MarksSystem and I think it does a great job introducing players to programming and command line concepts. Really excited to see what else is in store and what developers planned for the future.
no mud
If you like the 80s/90s hacker vibe, this is one of the best implementations of that since Uplink IMO. Hackmud reminds me of exploring the teenaged Internet, piecing together an online forum's own lore and downloading random
projects created by its members. It's very obtuse, but if you're willing to dig, it's an experience unlike anything else in the "hacking" genre. The soundtrack is also fantastic.
:::TRUST COMMUNICATION::: Unauthorized access detected. Suspending environment...
I can't state enough just how much I enjoy this game. The puzzles, the programming, the community - it's all amazing. It's all a labor of love, a pursuit for education. Hackmud took what programming knowledge I had and expanded it heavily, spending my time designing systems from scratch to solve a puzzle set forth by either the developers or players.
Such a large part of the game is interacting with other players' content in a fully open multiplayer sandbox (with some surprisingly minimal restriction). Players have written entire games, you can play the ever so popular word guessing game or tempt fate by choosing one of three doors. Idle games between trying to figure out how to access some content gated behind one command or another. Players have written simulators for built-in content, big and small. Players have written genius scams, but also genius and genuine tools.
On top of this, even if you don't want to learn to program or don't know how to program, there's a place for you - so much content is just about the lore. The entire reason the simulated environment exists, the people behind it. The occasional event always needs someone who's willing to just sit down, read and learn.
The fact that the game is an MMO where the players make their own content means there's never a lack of things to do and if you think there is, you can make things to do. I don't think I've ever seen an MMO that has potential to survive without updates, but this right here... this is it.
:::TRUST COMMUNICATION::: Unauthorized connection killed. Security restored. Resuming environment.
xxxx 0000 gear :::what's up mud?:::
I thought I was going to play for an hour or two before getting bored and deciding to quit.
~10 hours in and I am craving more and more.
Edit: ~20 hours in and I will probably keep messing around with it. Though sadly the game is "dead". And by "dead" I mean you will rarely encounter another player in game to talk with, the discord community is active, but the game itself doesn't seem to get much traffic sadly, from my own observations.
The " [...] as you explore the abandoned internet of the future." part of the game's description is very apt. The 0000 channell is filled with various scams, automated scripts and what not from the earlier days of the game.
To sum it up; if the idea of exploring a (abandoned) sandbox MUD, filled with automated scrips, NPCs, and rarely a player or two, all while using a terminal interface and javascript scripts to do so appeals to you, then you might enjoy the game as I did/am/will.
If not, I don't think I could recommend the game.
fantastic game with a steep learning curve but mindbending puzzles that make it very much worth the effort
after doing the singleplayer i wanted to keep playing but you have to actually learn javascript to continue. which would be fine if i could learn it by playing more of the game. i would love that actually. still a fun campaign though.
10/10 would hack mud again
Late by one day to keep my users from retiring/being deleted..
Doesn't feel good. Guess I was done playing, anyway.
This game is sick, BUT if you hate typing/reading it Isnt for you. It forces you to think, and takes some initiative. Sometimes you'll find yourself searching for what to do online, how to crack puzzles, what tiers do what. ALSO i don't think this counts as a spoiler, for those who got stuck trying to escape the VLAN my hint is "one of each" otherwise it IS POSSIBLE to get softlocked in the VLAN. Community is cool, deceptive, exciting. Dig in and see how far you get.

Don't know why but this game is so good. Even got me into coding with Javascript because i didn't want to do manually t1 locks anymore. A bit frustrating when you want to test your script and use your.target and lose everything but still, very very fun!
The world has ended and humanity is gone. They left behind a network populated by Java Scripts operated by bots. One of those bots is the Trust, it "evolved" into some kind of super-sentient computer that regulates the Multi-User-Domain (MUD).
It is now populating the MUD with lesser sentient AI's (players) it develops in a virtual LAN system (tutorial) in order to explore, rebuild, maintain the MUD and seek, or perhaps hide, answers, if they wish.
Overall I really enjoy the atmosphere, the game is not difficult programming wise, most of the puzzles rely on logical guesses and can be solved manually and riddles can be googled. The higher difficulty scripts require some programming skills but progression is not entirely dependent on high difficulty, you can grind anything you want to in the way you enjoy doing it.
I might change this review when I'm more experienced but even now I feel like I made a good purchase and will enjoy exploring the MUD.
Don't trust anything...
