Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to find out whether the game is worth developing in its current direction. The current version contains the first part of the story and ends on a cliffhanger. Early Access will help us learn what you find interesting and what you don't, find bugs, and decide whether to continue the story and gameplay as they are or change them significantly.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game in Early Access for about six months. This may change depending on player feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“By the full release we will either finish and polish the game, or, based on your feedback, change the story and gameplay. We don't promise specific features: the outcome depends on your feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build contains the first part of the story and is playable from the beginning to its first major cliffhanger. Expect bugs, rough edges and some placeholder content while we keep improving it. All gameplay features described in the About This Game section are already implemented in the current build. Please refer to that section for details.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The Early Access price is lower than the planned price of the full release. It may increase as new content is added; we will announce any change in advance.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We read player feedback in the Steam discussions and reviews, through the in-game feedback and bug report panel, and on our Discord. Your feedback directly decides what we fix first and what we build next.”

About This Game

The Story

Ares and Logan grew up in a poor town and built the crypto startup Midas together. Logan gambled away other people's money and saved himself by pinning all the blame on his partner. You play as Ares, and you're ready to do anything for revenge.

Hack You shows how hackers get to ordinary people

  • Viruses in games. How attackers hide malware inside game builds.
  • Social media hacking. How hackers gain access to your accounts, chats, photos and personal files. In the game, these are Kisscord and Kissgram, parodies of Discord and Telegram, along with the tricks attackers really use.
  • Infected documents. How an ordinary Wort text document becomes a trap that gives full access to your PC: your webcam, your screen and even your crypto wallets.
  • How a virus lives in the system. What happens the moment it launches, where malware hides, how it survives a reboot, and what an ordinary virus can do without even needing administrator rights.
  • And much more.

Real terminology, not made-up "movie hacking"

The code and interface show things close to real techniques: authorization tokens, LevelDB, Local State, DPAPI decryption (CryptUnprotectData), the AES-GCM algorithm, the tdata archive, Task Scheduler, bot APIs, paths like %AppData% and much more.

All the techniques shown in the game are current as of 2026 and will be educational for aspiring cybersecurity specialists.

Play as a hacker and find out how vulnerable you are yourself.

All characters, companies and apps in the game are fictional.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The game uses static images and UI elements (including a cryptocurrency exchange chart) generated with AI tools. These assets were manually post-processed and integrated into the game. All game code, mechanics, audio, and original level design were created by the studio without AI generation.
