## Description

Hacker's Quest is a text-based adventure Chrome extension that turns your device into a Linux-inspired terminal. Immerse yourself in a world of characters and corporate players as you solve puzzles, follow clues, and pursue secrets, all through text commands and mini-games. The experience emphasizes storytelling and problem-solving over real-world hacking.

This is a simulated, offline environment designed for entertainment. No real hacking is taught or performed, and no computers are accessed. The game is accessible without prior Linux knowledge and focuses on narrative and exploration.
