About this game

What The Hack! Is a humoristic, story puzzle game, where you, a computer program, tries to avoid getting destroyed by escaping a facility. Doing so by hacking and hijacking devices in your surroundings.

You play as Boolian, a facility worker whose consciousness is unexpectedly zapped into a computer. Before you can even process what’s happened, a security drone begins checking for malware. With no time to waste, you tap into your newfound hacking abilities, taking control of various machines to escape, like a drone, a robot vacuum, or even a towering logistics crane as you maneuver through the facility.

Embark on a thrilling adventure, outsmart the facility's defenses, and uncover creative ways to break free. But be careful—some of the robots you encounter might not be as friendly as they seem!

Make use of the unique hacking mechanic, allowing you to traverse the level in creative ways.

This game was made by 6 students as a group project assignment for their third year in the bachelor Digital Arts & Entertainment at Hogeschool West-Vlaanderen in Belgium.

The music was composed by Joshua Mas, student at the Royal Conservatoire of Ghent
