Data Hacker: Reboot

About

Data Hacker: Reboot is a story-driven RPG set across collapsing realities where players navigate fractured timelines and parallel worlds. As a Data Hacker, you'll explore a universe held together by fragile paradoxes, making choices that shape the fate of civilizations. Turn-based combat blends with exploration, puzzle-solving, and dialogue decisions that ripple through interconnected dimensions. The narrative leans heavily into existential themes, blending sci-fi spectacle with intimate character moments. The game stands out for its dense, emotionally charged storylines that balance grand cosmic stakes with personal loss and redemption. Player actions often lead to branching consequences, though some mechanics feel dated by modern standards. Launched in 2015, it remains a cult pick for fans of narrative-heavy RPGs with a philosophical edge. Released on PC, it carries a 72% critic score on Metacritic, with reviewers noting its ambitious worldbuilding and uneven execution. New Reality Games' follow-up to 2013's Data Hacker, it's a bold but flawed entry in the indie RPG space.
