868-Hack is a minimalist roguelike strategy game developed by Michael Brough and released in 2013 for PC, Mac, and iOS. Players take the role of a hacker navigating a grid-based digital environment, moving through interconnected sectors to extract valuable data. Two core tool types define the gameplay: siphons, which function as access mechanisms for penetrating the system, and progs, which serve as offensive weapons against threats encountered along the way. Each run presents the challenge of downloading enough data and reaching an exit before being destroyed by the system's defenses. The game's stripped-down visual style belies considerable tactical depth, as players must manage limited resources and weigh risk against reward with each move. Its compact design and high replayability place it firmly within the tradition of demanding, systems-driven roguelikes.
