Three years ago, on August 13, 2015, a game I’d been working on for a few years was released. I mean, it was actually the August 14th for me, since I’m in Australia, but it happened all the same.

In that time, Hacknet has been played by over 1.4 million people. That number being so huge was helped a lot by the two 48 hours free giveaways we did recently, but even those bumps aside, the success and reach of the game has been so incredible. Thankyou so much to every one of you that played the game, spoke about it, recommended it, worked on extensions, hung out in the discord (https://discord.gg/7cHhVT9), and helped Hacknet become what it is today. It means the world to me.

So Hacknet’s on sale again!

Also, I put together this album with all of the Hacknet and Labyrinths wallpapers in it if you’re interested:

I’m working on a brand new game now. It’s going to be something completely different - I needed a change of pace after 6 years of Hacknet stuff. I’ll be posting updates about that on my Twitter ( www.twitter.com/Orann ) when I’m ready!
