The game is available to add to your Steam library with no time limit. It’s not a promotion or a free-to-play period: just click “Add to Library” and you’ll have the game forever.

– is a short and humorous project created by six Digital Arts & Entertainment students as part of a class assignment. It took only four months to develop, but the result was impressive for a team of beginners.

Plot and gameplay What The Hack!

Players are offered the role of Boolian, an employee of a research center whose consciousness is suddenly transferred into a computer. While the hero is trying to realize what is happening, the security system runs a virus scan.

Using new “hacking” abilities, the player gains control over different machines:

• drones,
• robot vacuum cleaner,
• truck crane.

The challenge is to cheat the complex’s defenses and find a way to break free. However, not all the robots you encounter will be friendly.

How the game was received on Steam

has only 13 reviews right now, but all of them are positive – 100% rating. Players remark on the light humor and fresh approach to the short adventure.

The developers don’t rule out that with enough interest they can turn the project into a full-fledged game. In the meantime, it’s a free gift for those looking for something new, light, and unusual.
