Anti-Hack is a gorgeously colourful, neon-soaked love letter to cyberpunk
And we mean the old school type
- Anti-Hack is a new throwback to the cyberpunk genre of yore
- No guns or cyber limbs here, just good old-fashioned hacking action
- Solve computer-inspired logic puzzles in the depths of a corrupted system
When it comes to cyberpunk, we may have all been misled by the high-octane, guns-akimbo action of modern games and movies. Because there was a time when the genre was a little more subdued, and it was mainly focused on one thing, hacking. Yes, no guns or cybernetics, just surprisingly skinny and stylish basement dwellers bringing down complex conspiracies with nothing but a keyboard. It's a bygone era that today's subject Anti-Hack is a throwback to.
In this 3D puzzler, you'll explore a corrupted computer system, working to make your way from entry to the very heart of the network. It's all very retro, and heavily inspired by old comics, video games and - as the developers say - the 1995 film Hackers.
Naturally, this means that all the puzzles you encounter will be in some way based on computer logic. So you'd better get on your thinking cap because this is going to be a little more complex than match-threes or Suika games.
We may or may not have a little bit more in the pipeline for Anti-Hack, but it's a game worth exploring on its own. It's obviously not the first to apply actual computer logic to puzzles, but graphics-wise it's a cut above some of the other games we've seen. Fans of System Shock might even note it outpaces the notorious cyberspace sequences in that famous cyberpunk immersive sim.
