story

while the ingame mechanics are more focused on teaching the player stuff about technology and ctfs, the purpose of the game's story is to demonstrate what real hackers and anarchists are confronted with in their activism as well as touching on mental health.

over the course of the game your interactions with the characters and how close you are with each of them, as well as decisions you make will determine your path through the story.
how close you are with each of the characters in tracerats also determines which category CTFs you get to play most.

since the game also focuses on mental health it is important to be aware that the story is going to include potentially triggering topics. please make sure you're okay with mentions of the triggers below and take a break if the storys contents get too much.
