How it feels

A linear hacker simulator where you use renamed real-world tools to breach servers while a partner guides you through a tense, atmospheric story.

What players say

Players describe hack_me as a typing-heavy buggy simulator. It only works with a US keyboard layout, windows cannot be moved or resized, and the English translations are poor. The story is short at about two hours, and many see it as good only for achievement hunting on sale.
