Steam Store description

Crosstalk is, by itself, hands-off in how it treats players. With this free DLC, players can author computer architecture-related challenges and share them via the Workshop. It comes with a basic set of "missions," which support leaderboards, stats, and achievements. The completion of this DLC is the prerequisite of the Crosstalk Story mode , Memville , and House of Hex DLC. Players must complete the included set of missions in order to gain access to these two pieces of DLC. This is so because these DLC require intimate understanding of computer architecture, binary, and especially hex pattern-matching.

SteamPulse editorial summary

Crosstalk: Hardware Sniffers is listed as a DLC with Free to play. It supports Windows, belongs to Single-player, Downloadable Content, Steam Achievements, Steam Workshop, Camera Comfort, Color Alternatives, #category_contrast_controls, and Custom Volume Controls, and is associated with Indie, Simulation, Strategy, and Free To Play. Because it is a DLC, SteamPulse focuses on its Store listing, relationship to the parent app, media, packages, and metadata rather than treating it like a standalone concurrency page.
