Blackdoor Has Launched!

Thank you for supporting me. Having a launch date behind me instead of ahead of me is still sinking in.

The full game is live - and it's a bigger launch than originally planned. A batch of content I was going to hold back for a free update landed in time, so it shipped with the game instead of coming later. If you find any bugs, let me know in the discord or using the "feedback" command in-game and I'll sort them ASAP!

New This Launch

  • Web Attack Vectors - SQL injection, command-injection privilege escalation, race-condition exploits, and full browser automation, joining the existing web-hacking toolkit. New scripting functions, and a run of missions designed specifically around each one - not just new commands with nowhere to use them.

  • Email/SMTP - a brand new service to hack into, alongside SSH and HTTP. Its own port, its own login, real mailboxes to crack into and read - or send a convincingly spoofed email of your own.

  • Permission-misconfiguration puzzles - can't reach the file you actually want? Find the script that root's own cron job runs every night instead, slip a line into it, and let root do the reaching for you.

  • Log-correlation missions - cross-reference two or three existing log files against each other to work out what actually happened on a box, rather than just grepping for one obvious line.

  • A sysadmin side-job arc - patch a config, rotate a credential, clean up after yourself - maintenance-flavoured jobs for some tonal variety against the usual heists.

  • SSH key reuse as its own mission - the lateral-movement trick some of you have already found by accident becomes the deliberate point of a job, not just an incidental detail.

All of it shows up as ordinary side jobs in the existing rotation - something new to pick up whenever you're between story missions.

And Beyond That

This is what made it in for launch - there's still more planned past it that I'm not ready to detail yet. Join the #blackdoor Discord to hear about it first.

One Favour

If you enjoyed the game and have a minute, a Steam review helps more than almost anything else I could ask for - it's how other people find out this exists at all.


Thank you again for making this possible.

A server used to be a filing cabinet - it sat there with its files and its users until you did something to it, and nothing happened in between. That's fine for a lot of the game, but it meant every "the system noticed you" moment was fake.
