A Zachtronics puzzle game set in an alternate 1997. You are a hacker with a strange illness, taking hacking jobs in exchange for medicine.
How you code
You program EXAs, small agents that move between hosts in a network. They are written in an assembly-like language and can read and write files, copy themselves and talk to each other. The hacking zine that comes with the game explains the instructions, and each solution is compared with other players' on size and speed.
