Buy Greyhat: A Digital Detective Adventure PC key

Greyhat: A Digital Detective Adventure casts you as yourself, an infamous hacker-for-hire able to infiltrate computers. After completing a job, you discover that you have crossed powerful people; in retaliation, they take your daughter. To bring her home, you hack into other people’s computers, search their files and emails, interfere with their software and follow clues.

Hacker investigations

Each level has its own setting, puzzles, clues, twists and mini-games. You read text logs, emails, journal notes and browsing histories to uncover what your targets are like behind their public personas. Clues, passwords and solutions are randomized, making each playthrough different.

Your jobs include stealing test reports that show a pharmaceutical giant’s product is unsafe, helping land planes flying blind after an AI glitch by hacking air traffic control, and stopping an aggressive rogue nation from launching a nuclear weapon by accessing its submarine’s computer systems. You can also help leak a secret list naming every member of a controversial Neo-Nazi organization and identify the killer of a murdered woman in a case left cold by police inaction, among other cases.

Choices and discoveries

You choose how to respond in text chats with allies and enemies, each with their own personality and agenda. The game asks you to think, act and react like a hacker, and lets you play under your own name, gender and hacker alias.

Levels also contain collectibles, including side stories, poems, wallpapers and cryptocurrency. The story follows a parent’s love and loss, and the lengths they will go to for their child; an estimated playthrough takes 10–15 hours, depending on your detective skills.
