What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

This is a total joke game but it's priced right at $5 and they totally committed to the joke. Rather than trying to teach pseudo-linux hacking commands (like in Hacknet or Uplink), this game is inspired by terrible hacking scenes in movies and TV (like having two people type on the same keyboard as fast as they can).

This game is all about mashing random keys on your keyboard as fast as you can. That's how you "hack", just like in the movies. The game does mix it up a bit by doing extra damage if you type actual words and playing basic mini-games to perform certain actions, but the main focus is on bashing your keyboard as frantically as you can so you can feel like a movie hacker.

Here's a trailer, showing how frantic everything is. It just released on Monday and is only available on Steam. It's totally ridiculous and now my hands are tired, but it's fun.
