Very cool, immersive, and thought-provoking game. Some downsides are shoddy translation at times and amateurish voice acting but those are understandable flaws to have.

Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 305: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ (8/10) Cyber Manhunt casts you as a hired hacker working for a shady tech company, diving deep into people’s digital footprints to expose secrets, manipulate outcomes, or destroy lives—depending on who’s paying. It’s a detective game wrapped in social commentary, mixing real-world open-source intelligence tools with a sharp narrative focus on privacy, morality, and the commodification of personal information. The experience is slick, addictive, and surprisingly emotionally charged, even as it drags you through increasingly uncomfortable territory. 🟢 Pros: [*] Clever mechanics that feel grounded and authentic. Each case involves scouring fake websites, piecing together social media data, inspecting photo metadata, and using context clues to crack security questions or passwords. It feels grounded in real techniques used by journalists, investigators, and malicious actors alike. Unlike many “hacker” games that default to flashy visuals and techno-babble, Cyber Manhunt leans into how frighteningly simple it can be to uncover personal details with just a little determination and context. [*] Great UI. The in-game interface mimics a functioning operating system, complete with fake search engines, chat logs, financial apps, and internal company software. It’s clean, easy to navigate, and does a fantastic job of making you feel like you’re living inside a terminal window for hours. The interface becomes second nature quickly, allowing you to forget you're playing a game and focus entirely on the task of investigation. [*]Complex moral themes. Rather than relying on one overarching conspiracy (though that's part of the game!), the game gives you a series of smaller, more intimate cases each one touching on different themes like revenge porn, mental illness, cyberbullying, or whistleblowing. What’s impressive is how effectively the game conveys the emotional stakes of these narratives through documents and data alone. You often start a case thinking someone’s in the wrong, only to slowly learn they were a victim all along. [*] Creative twist on detective work. In many cases, you’ll impersonate people, craft fake identities, send phishing messages, or push emotionally manipulative texts to provoke responses from characters. It’s unsettling how good it feels to “win” a case this way, and that’s part of the point. The game forces you to reckon with your own sense of detachment—how far are you willing to go when the consequences aren’t real? 🌐 Cons: [*] Can get predictable. While the first few investigations feel novel and rewarding, the structure doesn’t evolve much as you progress. Nearly every case involves the same general process: comb social media, find personal info, unlock emails, then exploit the target. The repetition is not boring per se—especially if you're a fan of detective work—but it can get overwhelming in the latter half of the game. [*] Some logic leaps. While most of the investigations are well-designed, a handful of them include solutions that feel unintuitive—like needing to click on a very specific phrase buried in a long article or assume something that’s not clearly hinted at. The lack of an in-game hint system can make these roadblocks more frustrating than they need to be.

An interesting game with some caveats! The investigation is enjoyable, and the general plot is fine, though it's let down a bit by a couple of things: - The translation + voice acting is Not Good. Sometimes this also makes investigating the cases harder, too. I really wish a good translator could have been involved. - I think this is related to the translation issue, but the r-slur shows up a couple of times out of nowhere at the end + in one of the achievements? Huh??? Is this 2003??? - It's good that the game isn't full of red herrings, but sometimes the restrictiveness of the browser search + what you can highlight feels both frustrating and a bit immersion-breaking. This is definitely something games like The Roottrees Are Dead do better. It's not awful, though, and you'll generally get where you're going in the end. Also, and this is not a negative or a positive, this game has a lot of underlying fridge horror/creepiness that I really hope gets explored more in game two. Overall: I definitely recommend this if you enjoy "snooping around in articles/on the internet" games! It might not be the best of the best, but if you can deal with the stuff above, it's not a bad purchase.

Why does the 100% achievement for Chapter 3 have a 51% completion rate among players? This is the most completed game I’ve ever seen. There’s something unusual about the gameplay, it makes you want to take a break, but then you come back for the next chapter.
