The demo version of sci-fi hacker puzzle game Gridhack was released today. Available now on PC via Steam, the game sees you fighting an enemy programme by way of a simple puzzle game.

From the publisher –

GRIDHACK is a sci-fi puzzle RPG where hacking = fighting nonogram battles. Chase a rogue program and chip away at the galaxy’s strongest firewall to uncover the conspiracy about what happened to Earth!

The main mechanic of the game is solving logic puzzles to attack the enemy firewall. You can use different abilities in order to defend or attack, or to manipulate the grid itself. You have a choice of different loadouts to enable you to explore different playing styles.

There is a narrative to the game, as you work to uncover a conspiracy. You are travelling the galaxy, meeting a collection of unusual characters, trying to discover what happened to planet Earth.

Gridhack is developed and published by Threshold Anomaly Games. The demo version is available now on Steam for PC, and you can download from the steampage here – https://store.steampowered.com/app/5351100/GRIDHACK_Demo/ The full game does not yet have a release date.
