Chained

Released: 3/11/2021

A unique puzzle-solving experience backed by the story of Cole as he seeks to exact revenge on the program and company that destroyed his career in cybersecurity. Help Cole take revenge on the AI program named "Scout" and the company that put him out of a job. Solve puzzles, hack accounts, and stop the field of cybersecurity from being taken over by an evolving AI system. What starts as a simple act of revenge soon grows into something Cole can no longer walk away from. Puzzles involve rapidly linking chains of numbers to bypass security measures and steal money a little at a time. As the AI "Scout" learns more tricks, you'll soon unlock some of your own to fight back with. Featuring a fully voice-acted story and a fast-paced puzzle mechanic, Chained will challenge your dexterity and assumption of what vengeance can cost.
