Learn what it takes to be a hacker
Hacking is a very useful skill in this digital age. Hacking is also dangerous because most hackers are involved in illegal activities. Despite this, hackers have a fascinating lifestyle that has captured the imaginations of media creators across all media formats, including video games. RVL Games has created Hacker Simulator, a puzzle-based hacking game.
PremiseHacking Simulator lets you play as Alex D. A software programmer who moonlights as an expert hacker. Alex D is a hacker and is captured by Duckman Corporation, a German company. They are blackmailed into helping clear their name as they are being charged with espionage.
GraphicsThe Hacker Simulator's graphics are reminiscent old computers that ran binary code. It has a strangely green hue that reminds me of the Matrix code screen. The graphic design is appropriate for the theme and gameplay since most of the game is text-heavy. It can be tiring to look at, as the color scheme is extremely saturated and has high contrast. This makes it difficult to see for long periods of play.
A dive into the Hacker WorldHacker Simulator gives you a glimpse into what it's like to be a hacker. It's fictionalized so it's not a realistic representation of hacking. Hacker Simulator is worth a look if hackers and hacking interests you.
