In a world where “bits have replaced atoms,” players can reprogram drinks to give anyone who consumes them boosts to things like speed and charisma. The catch? The more powerful the effects, the faster the drink runs out. But that’s where the vending machines come in! By hacking a machine, players can create cans of Coke containing absurd amounts of liquid (for instance, a million ounces), effectively giving themselves an unlimited supply of whatever enhancements they’ve programmed into the drink.
The game’s protagonist even starts out as a soda sales rep, making all this soda-related hacking even more fitting. Thanks for the context, Maxwell!
