#SteamSpotlight is back with a new feature as we shine the spotlight on more games available on Steam!
Today, we feature a puzzle game that focuses on things that are very much present in our very internet-driven world. It is all about hacking, privacy breaches, and even cyber violence.
Let us tell you more about Cyber Manhunt!
#SteamSpotlight Feature: Cyber Manhunt
Developed and published by Aluba Studio, Cyber Manhunt was released on February 3, 2021. As previously mentioned, it is a puzzle game that deals with the negative side of the online world. It should be noted, however, that Cyber Manhunt is not a hacking game per se, but more of a hacking-themed puzzle game.
According to the game's Steam page, Aluba Studio "decided to make an amazing game to let people really know about the dangers of internet world."
The game developer adds:
We focus on the dark web, truly cybercrime and privacy burglary, tried to let gamers can experience being a hacker in the real world. Every little operation would affect the life of the characters in the game, which would let you rethink the relationship between people and the internet.
