Hack ‘95 is a new card battler from developer Village Studios, inspired by 90s computing, where you play as a hacker taking on the mega corporations. We don’t have a release date for Hack ‘95 on Steam yet, but a new demo just dropped that already has a few positive reviews from players. Hack ‘95 is set in a conspiracy-filled world that zips you through the golden age of computing, from underground hacker chats right to the heart of government. Expect twists, turns, 90s dance bangers and flaming GIFs. The demo features licensed tracks from N-R-G and Nookie with a script overseen by international best-selling author and veteran games journalist Keith Stuart.
Speaking about Hack ‘95, Keith Stuart said, “After years of writing about games, this is the first time taking the leap and writing for one. I was drawn to this project because the culture of the internet and videogames in this era was so weird and dark, yet wildly optimistic. Hack ‘95 is a brilliant exploration of the time. It’s funny, packed with period details and clever gameplay systems. It’s a hugely talented dev team. And although it’s set in 95, the story is really about rebelling against big tech and regaining the freedom of the net. It couldn’t be more timely.”
Village Studios game director Will Luton, previously of Sega, said, “Hack ‘95 is a bunch of stories you’ve heard a thousand times before. It’s a pulpy hacker B-movie. But these stories have never been told like this. We’ve designed an experience that is as close to time travel as the laws of physics and intellectual property allow. We’re using the very medium of computing, the operating systems, to explore a living, breathing world. The thrill of defeating some shady government agent and exploring their desktop is intoxicating.”
