GO PHISH DEVLOG: What's the metagame?
Another month flies by, and here we are in September – the official Start of the End of the Year. Good news is, we come bearing gifts. SO YOU PROMISED ME “ROGUE-ISH”? Alright,…




Go Fish or go homeless. In this rogue-ish debt-builder, pay your rent by phishing a target in a supercharged version of the classic card game. Crack your victim’s password in a dynamic dialogue system, then use your loadout of unlockable suits and items to hack their PC and drain their savings.
Hack your target’s PC with a suped-up spin on Go Fish. Collect four cards of the same value to damage an opponent’s firewall, but beware of retaliation! Unlock and equip more than a dozen different suits, each with their own special abilities. Negate a card request, deal poison damage, or lay booby traps in your hand – how you play is up to you! Use items to turn the tide of a tricky fight, and watch the dollars pour in.
Before you can hack your target, you first need to employ some social engineering to crack their password. In our dynamic dialogue system, you will have to maintain the victim’s trust by asking appropriate questions, or risk them hanging up. Scour the conversation for useful keywords, and run them through your password cracker. The better you phish, the more valuable the data you’ll obtain in the hack. Just hope you can live with yourself afterwards.
Life is merciless, and so is capitalism. You’re a Comp.Sci grad with massive debt, a tiny apartment, and bills piling up – and if you don’t pay rent in a week, you’ll be evicted. Do you want to be phishing people? No, not really, but that bank manager isn’t gonna miss that cash, right? Manage your Stress Meter with luxuries like a small chocolate bar ($25), or watch your hacks get harder as a result. But if you have to spend all this money to stay sane, how the hell are you gonna get out of debt?
