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 TechnicaCYBERPUNK HACKING: Darknet is the hacking VR game weve 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 Im 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 thats precisely what a virtual reality game ought to do for the player… It is the best Oculus Rift game Ive ever played. - DailyDot AWARD-WINNING: BEST GAMEPLAY - Proto Awards 2014 FINALIST - IndieCade 2015 GRAND PRIZE- Oculus VR JamCRITICALLY 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 Hollywoods appalling movie interpretation of "hacking" from the 90s but its 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 its 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." - Toms HardwareBy the same developer of VR strategy games Tactera and Skylight.
