A downloadable game for Windows

Hack. Build. Survive the System



๐Ÿ“– About the Game

SpecterOS is a grounded hacking simulation where every action leaves a trace. Instead of cinematic โ€œHollywood hacking,โ€ you operate inside a fully-functional in-game operating system: navigating terminals, running programs, upgrading hardware, and staying one step ahead of adaptive security AI.

The deeper you go, the more the system pushes back. Can you survive the network long enough to uncover the truth behind Nyx?
