Nullshell is a fictional hacking simulation, for entertainment and educational purposes only. Every target, contract, and company in the game is made up. Nothing you do here interacts with any real computer system, and none of it is instruction for attacking one.
This is a beta. Expect bugs, balance changes, and the possibility that your save data gets reset or wiped without notice as the game evolves. There's no uptime guarantee.
Your account. We store your username, email address, password (hashed, never in plain text), and your gameplay data. Your email is used only to operate the game and reach you about it (e.g. beta updates, account issues) — never sold or handed to third parties.
No real-world value. In-game cash, crypto, wagers, and items exist only inside Nullshell. They can't be exchanged for real money or anything of real-world value, regardless of how they're won or lost in-game.
Play fair. No harassing other players, no attempting to exploit or cheat the game's systems. Accounts that do may be suspended or reset without warning.
Age. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
As-is. Nullshell is provided as-is, with no warranty of any kind, by a solo/small hobby project — not a company.
