I got to the Beta node and just was absolutely confused.
"Set the parameters to the values in firmware.enc"
Okay?! So where are the values?
I decrypted it and it said all the values were 0. So I set the first one to 0. Gameover...
I am going to try again, I guess, but really, super confused on what I am supposed to be doing...
I get it's supposed to simulate hacking in linux but it's honestly confusing without clear instructions or some sort of tutorial to understand what you're supposed to be doing.
Okay... My second attempt it was too easy and made less sense... Is this a demo?
Thanks for the feedback — this is actually super useful.
You’re right: the current build doesn’t explain some mechanics clearly enough yet, especially around firmware parameters and how puzzle logic is communicated to the player.
HACKTERM is still an early prototype / demo build, so onboarding and tutorialization are things I’m actively improving right now.
The goal is definitely not random guessing — the idea is to make players progressively learn how the system behaves and interpret node data correctly.
Really appreciate you taking the time to retry it and leave detailed feedback.
