Summer DB entity ID: cc0f9391\-785f\-4ac1\-a14f\-30c585f972cf

Steam App ID: 401910

Darknet is a strategy/puzzle game in which you play as an elite hacker in the Net\. Plug into cyberspace, using viruses, worms, and exploits to steal the data before your signal gets traced\!   After winning awards on PSVR, Oculus Rift, and Gear VR, Darknet is  now available for the HTC Vive  and also  INCLUDES A NON\-VR VERSION  for those without a headset\! Features     DEEP GAMEPLAY : “Darknet is the closest thing to a killer app for the system\.\.\. It seems simple at first, but Darknet quickly grows to require a lot of second\- and third\-order logical thinking, under what can be a strict time limit\. More than anything else, Darknet was what I was excited to play every time\.” \-  Ars Technica    CYBERPUNK HACKING : “Darknet is the hacking VR game we’ve all been waiting for since our first viewing of  HACKERS ,  Johnny Mnemonic , or  Tron … Everything I wanted out of a hacking game since 1995\. The future is finally here and I’m cracking nodes, dropping viruses, staying one\-step ahead of security\.” \-  BigSushi\.fm     GREAT FOR VR : “When I dove into the cyberspace simulation, I lost myself in the illusion\. My relationship to meat space was momentarily forgotten\. And that’s precisely what a virtual reality game ought to do for the player… It is the best Oculus Rift game I’ve ever played\.” \-  DailyDot     AWARD\-WINNING :     BEST GAMEPLAY  \- Proto Awards 2014     FINALIST  \- IndieCade 2015     GRAND PRIZE \- Oculus VR Jam    CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED :    "Darknet is one of the oldest VR games around, and still one of the best\.” \-  The Verge     “Enjoy solving puzzles? Strategizing? Does the description ‘cyberpunk hacking in virtual reality’ light up your eyes like Christmas morning? Darknet is reminiscent of Hollywood's appalling movie interpretation of "hacking" from the '90s, but it's fun and engaging\.” \-  CNET     “Completely worth your time\. An interesting puzzle game where you have to hack into different computer system using an array of tools, it also winkingly makes fun of the 90s\-era version of VR\. If you ever wanted to pretend you were a hacker from the 1995 film Hackers, this is a pretty good place to start\.” \-  Polygon    "And therein lies the beauty of Darknet\. The game is simple on its surface, yet it's filled with challenges that keep you pressing on to beat the next one\. I thought I was going to play Darknet for 20 minutes or so to get a feel for the game\. Little did I know, three hours would pass before I gazed upon \(actual\) reality again\." \-  Tom's Hardware
