A hacking sim that runs inside a fake desktop OS, with no menus laid over the top. You get a terminal, 72 hours, and one job: get into North Korea's missile network and send its rockets to the Moon instead of Seoul. Do it quietly and nobody ever finds out you were there.
You have 72 hours before the missiles launch.
Someone inside North Korea has armed the HWASONG-19s. Several warheads, several targets, with Seoul and Tokyo near the top of the list. Talks fell apart days ago, and hitting the launch sites by force only starts the war a few hours early. So the people who can't be seen doing anything quietly called in someone who doesn't officially exist. That part is where you come in.
Black Box - Hacker Day One is a hacking game that takes place entirely inside a simulated desktop. There's no interface sitting on top of it. The desktop is the game. You open a terminal and type, drag windows around, read your email, buy gear off a darknet market, and pick your way into a military network one server at a time.
Operation Lunar Redirect
Your handler goes by Mr. Bob and feeds you objectives through an encrypted messenger. The operator before you went by Ghost. He set the whole thing up and then dropped off the grid three days ago, but his files are still on the machine: dead drops, half-written notes, a map of the network. It's enough to pick up where he left off, assuming you can keep up with him.
The plan itself sounds unhinged. Get inside the STAR-7 network and rewrite the targeting on every rocket so they all point at the same empty stretch of the Moon, the Sea of Tranquility. They still launch. The world still panics for a few minutes. Then everyone watches them sail up and out into nothing, and not one person dies.
What you actually do
All of it stays in the fiction
Nothing in Black Box lives outside the world. The briefing arrives as an email. Your money sits in a wallet app. Tips come from contacts on the darknet. A miner grinds away at Bitcoin in the background while the radio plays and the clock shows the actual time. When Mr. Bob says something, you watch the words land as he types them. There are no cutscenes and nothing loads between scenes. You sit at the desk and the deadline keeps moving toward you.
Five phases, and it keeps getting heavier
Side work, and things you weren't meant to find
Not all of it is the mission. Strangers email you out of nowhere. A Nigerian minister wants a security audit and keeps swearing it's completely legitimate. The neighbour's router turns out to be a CIA listening post. There are files on a government archive that have no business existing. The jobs pay, and honestly they tell you more about this world than the main operation does. How clean you stay and who you decide to trust both feed into how the whole thing ends, and once you've seen it through there's a sandbox waiting where you can take the gloves off and just play.
