NITE Team 4

Dark, serious atmosphere

A hacking simulation where you type real-style terminal commands to infiltrate networks and direct strike teams. It adds alternate reality game elements and a conspiracy story set in The Black Watchmen universe.

Heat Signature

Sneaking and hiding

You dock a tiny pod onto enemy spaceships and infiltrate them with improvised plans to take out guards, steal loot, or hijack the whole vessel. It thrives on pausable top-down tactics and chaotic, emergent stories.

Sid Meier's Covert Action

Sneaking and hiding

As super-spy Max Remington you chase terrorists and crime syndicates around the globe, gathering clues, tailing suspects and cracking codes and locks in short action and puzzle sequences. Its blend of investigation, stealth and minigames was quite unusual for 1990.

Timelie

Sneaking and hiding

A stealth puzzle game where you scrub through time like a media player to slip past guards. You guide a girl with precognitive powers and her cat, planning each escape step by step.

Hacker Evolution Duality

Puzzles and brain teasers

A hacking simulation where you play programmer Brian Spencer, infiltrating networks in real time to stop a rogue AI he accidentally created. You juggle time pressure, tools and trace-avoidance through terminal-style interfaces.

Deus Ex GO

Sneaking and hiding

A turn-based infiltration puzzler in the Deus Ex universe: as Adam Jensen you move across board-like levels, hack systems and take out guards with augmentations. It is compact, stylish and ideal for short, clever brain-teasing sessions.

Hacker Evolution

Challenging difficulty

A hacking simulation played through a simulated terminal: you break into remote systems by analysing code and solving puzzles while a tracing countdown pressures you.

Invisible, Inc.

Sneaking and hiding

A turn-based stealth tactics game where you guide a small team of agents through procedurally generated corporate facilities while a ticking clock pressures you. Every move matters, since mistakes can permanently cost you agents.
