Zero Trace: Idle Hacker

Build an underground hacking network from a single salvaged laptop. Zero Trace is an idle hacker game with a real terminal interface and one rule that changes everything: every job you run leaves a trace. HACK. EARN. STAY HIDDEN. Your rigs earn credits around the clock, even offline. Take on contracts for big payouts, push them to finish faster, and watch your heat climb. Let the trace bar fill up and a raid kicks in the door: credits seized, jobs burned, systems slowed. Cool down in time or burn the logs. WHY PLAYERS STICK WITH IT • Risk that you control: every contract shows its payout, heat and failure chance before you accept • A heat and trace system that turns idle waiting into real decisions • Offline earnings with a clear report when you come back • A retro terminal look with scanlines and three palettes: green, amber and ice GROW YOUR NETWORK • 10 hardware tiers, from a salvaged laptop to a black backbone • Milestones that double your yield as your rigs stack up • 6 contract tiers, from phishing runs to full blackouts BUILD YOUR CREW • Hire the Ghost to cool your heat, the Broker to boost payouts and the Cracker to cut risk • Unlock 18 exploits in the library for permanent upgrades PRESTIGE: A NEW IDENTITY Wipe your run, earn root keys and spend them on permanent upgrades. Every new identity starts stronger and reaches the gate faster. MADE FOR SHORT SESSIONS Check in for a minute, start a few jobs, cool the heat and close the app. Your network keeps working while you are away.
