Cyber Manhunt is a fun little techno-thriller that turns hacking into a fun (and dangerous) game. I'm a sucker for games that use faux operating systems and let you dig through the email inboxes and text messages of intriguing characters. Cyber Manhunt certainly fulfills that desire to be a snoop.
It's also an excellent mystery game. Whether you're "GoGoing" (aka Googling) a character to find their "Teethbook" (aka Facebook) account or calling them pretending to be someone you're not to try to get information, the goal is always locating and filing away meaningful information. At the end of each chapter, you need to put all of those clues together and figure out what happened.
The only bummer about Cyber Manhunt is that its writing isn't nearly as well-done as everything else about it. Developer Aluba Studio is Chinese, and while this is far from the worst translation I've seen, it's definitely awkward in spots. And the game is almost annoyingly self-serious. I get that hacking is a serious topic and poses danger to people, but I'd love a little more camp here!
Still, it's well worth checking out, especially for its low price - $3.99 on iOS and $9.99 on Steam!

Cyber Manhunt - At First Glance
Cyber Manhunt plays out like the found-phone mystery genre where you have to look for something in a layout that is similar to the devices we're using just to solve the mystery at hand. The game starts off with an animated intro of sorts that really sets you in the theme. As a hacker extraordinaire, you are tasked by your employer to look into cases through unconventional and possibly unethical means.

Hack, investigate, uncover the truth | First Impressions - Cyber Manhunt
Cyber Manhunt is a PC hacking-themed game that has recently made its way onto the Android platform, offering players an immersive experience as they step into the shoes of a skilled hacker, recently hired by a corporation. I was able to test a trial version of the game, and play the prologue plus the first mission. The main gameplay is set in the OS of the computer itself: opening applications, and browsing around the simulated internet of the game. At its core, Cyber Manhunt provides players with a range of hacking-related activities to undertake. Starting with web searches and browsing to collect basic information about targets, players can then utilize a comprehensive database to gain deeper insights about persons of interest.
