CyVerse: The Cybersecurity Training Game

Step into the cyber threat–infested world of MonteCorp in CyVerse, an interactive open-world RPG designed to teach cybersecurity through immersive storytelling and engaging gameplay.

Play as a new recruit in a digital landscape where every action matters. As you explore this dynamic world, you’ll encounter real-world-inspired cybersecurity scenarios—from phishing emails to social engineering attacks—each carefully crafted to challenge your critical thinking and sharpen your defensive skills.

Your duck companion, Monte, serves as your mentor and guide, helping you navigate MonteCorp’s vulnerable networks and shady alleyways of digital deception. Each in-game "day" ends with a personalized After-Action Report, analyzing your decisions, highlighting mistakes, and offering actionable feedback to help you improve.

• Phishing Detection Challenge – Sort suspicious emails from legitimate ones in high-stakes inbox scenarios.
• Password Security Mini-Game – Learn password best practices by identifying secure and insecure credentials.
• Social Engineering Missions – Uncover manipulation tactics and practice safe responses across diverse, branching storylines.
• Open-World Exploration – Discover side quests, lore, and hidden threats while uncovering MonteCorp’s secrets.

Currently, this is a demo for a capstone project at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The demo contains the first "chapter" of the training story. 

Whether you're a cybersecurity student, a curious gamer, or an organization looking to boost awareness, CyVerse blends entertainment with education in a way that makes learning unforgettable.
