You sit at a clunky desktop, typing commands to probe servers and unravel a conspiracy, feeling like a resourceful hacker in a low-stakes retro thriller.

What players say
Players describe Desktop Hacker as a relaxed, story-driven hacking sim that skips the time pressure typical of the genre. However, many say it feels unfinished and buggy, with one reviewer losing a save file late in the game, and others finding later systems poorly explained.
