Key facts

Every node you place eats burn time - the moment you light up, the whole placement cost burns off at once, and whatever is left is how long the routine runs.

Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
smoke.exe is a hacking strategy game released October 12, 2026 at $6.29.
Lay out nodes on the board, wire them into an auto-hacking routine, light it and let it run.
The fight is always won or lost before you light up.
One cigarette is the timer and the budget
As long as the line connects, the signal moves on its own and keeps hitting.
Nothing burns while you build: until you light up, thinking costs no smoke at all.
The more you stack, the less time you have to run it - spending that one cigarette is the whole game.
Addiction and who it is for
The more you smoke, the higher your addiction climbs, and once it maxes out the signal starts to run wild - it might hit far harder than it should, or fly off somewhere useless.
Three rings run down from RING 2 to RING 0, and a boss waits at the bottom of each, dropping walls onto your board and killing the effects of adjacent nodes.
Shops carry nodes and companions to smoke with - canned coffee, whiskey, rice crackers - each with its own effect (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-13).
