✦ AI summary

How To Hack In? is praised by players as an immersive and engaging hacking game with genuinely interesting puzzles, particularly at higher difficulty levels, though it's acknowledged to be early in development with some bugs and missing features like save functionality. Players appreciate its focused design that avoids hand-holding and see strong potential for growth, though some note that competing games in the genre currently offer better value.

Genuinely the best blend of immersion and fun in a hacking game I've played in a while; even if it is still early in development I'd say it's worth picking up to see how it grows

Evaluation in 0.3.2 - May update later The game has quirks, it's still quite early in development, but it's good. I like that it is pretty focused in what it asks of you, but when you get to higher levels the puzzles are legitimately interesting, and because it's more focused than other games of the same genre it doesn't need to guide you as much so you don't feel like you're just doing what the game tells you to do. As a pentester, I use it to give my partner an idea of what my job involves, especially regarding how you have to think about things to get to what you want. The game currently has bugs, but I think it's still worth the price and expect it to only get better as things get smoothed out and more content is added.

I don't know if I'm just a fool or if they haven't been implemented yet but I don't see options to save my progress or exit the game from within the interface. Otherwise it's engaging, I can easily see myself getting addicted to snooping around just like exploring an open world game, ignoring missions and finding my own objectives. For example doing the first mission I saw an unrelated text file with what was supposed to be a bank account number and a website and I immediate forgot about the mission and went to the website to see if I could rob the guy. Depending on how well the procedural generation can flesh out the world and characters this has a lot of potential to basically be a hacking RPG.

Jul 2026 The bones for a great game are in place. Compared to other games in the genre, there are significant gaps in features, and a pretty big lack of content. I'm giving a positive review to encourage the dev to keep at it. If you are on the fence, today I would say there is better value for money in other games in the genre.
