Hacker.exe

Hacker.exe is a point-and-click hacking game with survival horror, strategy and simulation elements. You take on hacking jobs while solving a larger mystery and trying not to get caught, using puzzles, tower-defense strategies and quick-time events.

The mystery

The NCD claims to protect internet users from hackers and viruses. After the World Wide Whipe Out nearly destroyed most of the information on the internet, many people lost hope in using it. You begin your hacking career with no knowledge of your past and must piece together clues to learn why you became a hacker.

As you work, you discover that the NCD is involved in criminal activity and helps websites selling illegal products thrive. You investigate why the organization is doing this while taking on challenging hacking jobs.

Hacking and puzzles

You interact with hacking mechanisms and use logical methods to find objectives. The game includes mystery puzzles, difficult puzzles, jumpscares, surprises and time limits.
