Getting Started with Sylvarcon: Dive into a Post-Pandemic Adventure

After participating in numerous courses and workshops, we were inspired to create something unique—a blend of learning and immersive storytelling that enhances your gaming experience. This led to the birth of Sylvarcon, a game set against the backdrop of a pandemic that transforms the world as we know it.

In Sylvarcon, your adventure begins the moment you make your purchase. You will have the choice to play as either Claire, a digital forensics expert from Digilta Forensic, or Ethan, a savvy pentester. While their stories run in parallel, the challenges and obstacles each character faces are uniquely tailored to their skills. Join us in this enthralling narrative and sharpen your problem-solving skills in ways you’ve never imagined!

Seamless Setup and Exciting Beginnings: Starting Your Sylvarcon Adventure

Once you’ve downloaded Sylvarcon and completed your purchase, you will receive an installable package. This package streamlines the setup process by handling necessary configurations, such as installing VirtualBox and any required Visual addons. After these steps are completed, the game becomes readily accessible, and you can dive straight into the adventure with Claire. To embark on Ethan’s journey, simply visit the DLCs section to download his additional virtual machines. Get ready for a seamless start to your Sylvarcon experience!

Optimized Storage Management: Navigating Sylvarcon's Extensive Content

This game requires significant disk space, nearly 300GB when fully installed. This is particularly the case with Ethan’s path, which involves nearly 45 virtual machines across various levels. To manage this efficiently, we’ve organized the content into manageable packs, each containing 5 virtual machines. This way, each DLC only installs a portion of the game, allowing you to better manage your storage space.

For Claire’s storyline, all the action takes place within the Kali machine, streamlining your experience. However, it’s important to note that as you install additional tools or perform various actions, the size of the installation could grow up to 150GB. Please keep this in mind to ensure you have enough space for a smooth gaming experience.

Progressive Learning and Gameplay: Mastering Challenges with Ethan and Claire

The knowledge you’ll gain is embedded within the journeys of both Ethan and Claire. However, the depth and complexity of the learning experience will vary depending on the level at which you start. Sylvarcon allows you to save up to two parallel game sessions. While the overarching storyline remains consistent, be prepared for the challenge level to escalate as you progress through the game. This structure ensures that as your skills improve, so does the intensity of your challenges.

Strategic Gameplay: Earning and Spending Credits for Vital Hints in Sylvarcon

The challenges within Sylvarcon are marked by flags hidden in the machines or specific questions about the missions. Successfully solving these will earn you credits, which can be used to unlock hints. That’s right, hints come at a cost of credits, and without them, you won’t have access to these valuable clues. This system adds a strategic layer to your gameplay, encouraging thorough exploration and problem-solving.

Optimal Hardware Setup for Sylvarcon: Ensuring a Smooth Gaming Experience

For an optimal Sylvarcon gaming experience, we recommend having at least 16GB of RAM installed in your system and utilizing an SSD to ensure smooth operation. While the game is not graphically demanding and should work well with any commercially available graphics card, it’s crucial to ensure that your computer has virtualization enabled in the BIOS settings. Without this, the virtual machines integral to the game may not function as expected. This setup ensures that Sylvarcon runs efficiently, providing you with the best gaming and learning experience.

Certified Achievement: Earning Recognized Credentials through Sylvarcon's Challenges

All flag data in Sylvarcon are meticulously verified and securely stored. Why? Because upon completing all the flags within a level, you’ll be eligible to receive a certificate, be it of beginner, professional, or expert level. Moreover, each certificate comes with a unique UUID, enabling online verification. We’ve designed Sylvarcon not just as a game for entertainment but also as a platform for learning. Hence, we believe it’s crucial to acknowledge your dedication and achievement by awarding a completion certificate once you’ve successfully conquered the game’s challenges.

Transitioning to a New Learning Paradigm: Sylvarcon's Evolution and Exclusive Discount for Early Customers

If you are one of our valued customers who purchased your copy through Steam, we regret to inform you that we had to discontinue sales on the platform. This decision was driven by the high tax costs associated with Steam and the challenges we faced integrating Ethan’s machines, making the project unsustainable on that platform.

However, we’ve innovatively revamped our business model, reverting to the classic training model where you pay for access to professional material. The twist? Instead of accessing a standard online learning platform, you can now immerse yourself in a video game environment for a hands-on, interactive learning experience. With Sylvarcon, you’re not just playing a game; you also have the opportunity to earn a professional certificate and access online training support through our mentorship program.

This transformative approach marks the significant difference that has influenced the new pricing structure and necessitated the withdrawal of the product from Steam. Nonetheless, we value our longstanding relationship with our early customers. As a token of our appreciation and to honor your continued support, we are excited to offer you a spectacular discount on the complete version of Sylvarcon. This special offer is our way of ensuring that you, as a valued early member of our community, can fully engage with and benefit from the enhanced features and professional opportunities our revamped platform now offers.
