I really liked the soundtrack. I just couldn't do anything because I don't know any commands to put in the terminal. I sent a text to Mom but she did not reply. Is mom okay?

Yep, my bad, I really didn't make the first few missions clear enough / well explained. There's a bit of a learning cliff to get started.
I originally planned to use an LLM/AI to drive the NPCs, so I was only writing very basic keyword-based repsonses for them as a fallback in case the LLM didn't work. But I didn't get it implemented in time, so you have only the fallback :(.
To get moving, key info:
- The Documents folder has two docs - a photo of your moms/your home router - that gives you the host address, the username and the password
- ...and 2nd doc: the manual for the router - that gives you the instructions on how to use your Terminal to connect to the router, and what to do to reboot it when logged in
- From there you have to say anything to your Mom like "its done" or "yes" or "try now" - there's quite a lot of resposnes that will work
- ... then you get some more missions that involve different home-wifi routers, and a bit more social engineering talking to NPCs to extract password info ...
- ... then finally you are let loose on general servers, having to figure out passwords by looking for vulnerabilities on the servers you already have access to
