Discussion and announcements about all things Socially Distant.
What is Socially Distant?
Socially Distant is an up-coming narrative-driven hacking game coming to Steam for Windows and Linux PCs. It features hacking gameplay modelled after real life, an RPG-like dialog system for social engineering and influencing the game’s story, and is set in a parellel universe to ours where a devastating ransomware attack cripples the nation’s healthcare system in the midst of a deadly biological crisis. You are the prime suspect for its release, and it’s your job to clear your own name.
Where to find out more

The core game and its engine are open-source, licensed under the MIT License, and written in C#/.NET. Development is done over on the game’s official GitLab repository.
