## Introduction
Bitburner is a cyberpunk-themed incremental RPG.
The player progresses by raising their [Stats](../basic/stats.md), earning money, and climbing the corporate ladder.
Eventually, after reaching certain criteria, the player will begin receiving invitations from [Factions](../basic/factions.md).
Joining these [Factions](../basic/factions.md) and working for them will unlock [Augmentations](../basic/augmentations.md).
Purchasing and installing [Augmentations](../basic/augmentations.md) provides persistent upgrades and is necessary for progressing in the game.
You will progress by raising your [Stats](../basic/stats.md), earning money, and with practice, advancing your real-world coding skills.
After reaching certain criteria, you will receive invitations from in-game [Factions](../basic/factions.md).
Joining [Factions](../basic/factions.md) and working for them will unlock various [Augmentations](../basic/augmentations.md),
which are purchased and "installed," adding a persistent bonus to [stats](../basic/stats.md) and other abilities. Working with Factions and installing Augmentations is a basic step for progressing in Bitburner.
The game has a minimal story/quest-line that can be followed to reach the end of the game.
Since this guide is only about getting started with Bitburner, it will not cover the entire "quest-line".
The game has an open, minimalistic storyline that can be played in multiple ways to reach your goals.
Since this guide is written as a basic introduction to Bitburner, it will not expose the entire scope or storyline available.
## First Steps

In this introductory tutorial, you created a [Script](../basic/scripts.md) called `n00dles.js` and ran it on the `n00dles` server.
Right now, we'll kill this [Script](../basic/scripts.md). There are two ways to do this:
Now, we'll kill this [Script](../basic/scripts.md). There are two ways to do this:
- You can go to the Terminal and enter: `$ kill n00dles.js`
- You can go to the `Active Scripts` page (Alt + s) and press the `Kill Script` button for `n00dles.js`.
