Hacking Gameplay
Hacking is performed directly on objects that can be hacked into. Hacking allows you to access
otherwise inaccessible information.
•
The hacking interface is composed of 4 columns of numbers and a valid code line of 4
numbers at the bottom.
•
A timer at the top gives the amount of time given for the hack before the attempt fails.
If the hack fails, an alarm will be triggered.
•
The two warning lights at the top indicate the number of attempts Sam can make before
failing the attempt and triggering an alarm.
•
Each column will determine one of the four code elements. Sam must find the 4 correct
code elements to hack into the system.
•
The hacking device will automatically search for the correct code. Each time it finds a
potentially valid number in one of the columns, it will freeze it. If a column is entirely composed
of frozen numbers, it will be validated and one of the 4 code elements will be validated.
•
This process might take longer than the authorised time given by the timer at the top.
Sam can speed up the process by manually validating a frozen number.
•
Sam controls a highlighted cursor which can be moved up, down, left and right in all the
columns. He can select a number and press
A
to validate it.
•
If it is a frozen code element, the column is immediately validated and it appears in the
Code element screen.
