unlabelledView post →Quick edit: I'm noticing that this game seems to have a very intense influencer campaign going on and almost all of the positive reviews are coming from curators who thumbs up anything they receive for free and various content creators. Just a heads up before you read those reviews. I had pretty low expectations and sadly they were not met. However, I don't really hate the game since I appreciate the concept and it definitely feels like a project that just didn't pan out rather than a cynical…

unlabelledView post →the disclaimer about the ai use is wrong. they use it in other assets in the game not just as a story element. (ie: the owl on the binder) hiding it makes you worms. worms that made a caca game.

unlabelledView post →ok so where do i even start I picked this up because the idea sounded cool. But the acting... man. I've seen better performances in high school plays. Like these people are standing in front of a camera reading lines and you can FEEL how much they don't believe a single word coming out of their mouths. In an FMV game. Where acting is literally the whole point. The story doesn't save it either. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen and it just... didn't. Saw all the endings in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →one of the worst indie FMV games i've played. quite genuinely, there are projects intentionally made to be bad that are more entertaining and worthy of recognition than this garbage. the AI usage, blatant ingame advertising, and social media grass rooting of positive reviews really just rub salt in the wounds of what is otherwise just a laughably bad game. you play as Pinky, you average narcissistic streamer girl with a gang of simp moderators doing the "stream of a lifetime" while your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game lacks a lot of basic features not even from the art side. Basic features: -Ahmet is not available for the whole game and just has a question mark in the clues book -Chapter selection is not even available so you have to start a new game in order to play the chapters but that also makes you to play the whole game again from the begining. -In fast forwarding events, the game glitches out and sometimes doesn't even give me a choice to make or in a different language then selected one -In…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Turkish game, good cinematography and video quality. Decent English dub but the original video is in Turkish. Story a little cheesy as expected, but that's fine. Lip sync a bit off on Steam Deck. Overall enjoying tho. A bit sexy but nothing too wild. ;)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a streamer myself, I don't like this streamers character. Giving friends a hard time in missing her stream and then asking if they're gonna donate to her while she is live. She's a very inconsiderate character and I cannot even finish this game. Then her "discord friends" she just hangs in the whole group for her stream and won't stop pushing her with what is going on while being live making it a more of a big ordeal. Who the hell mentions viewer numbers while live.. I did get this game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game lacks basic features like pressing ESC button to open menu to at least quit the game, but no, it only works when you are done with game itself. Feature such as fast forward text or scene barely works, one time you smash (in this case TAB) it skips scenes the next it does not do it and whenever you chose your decision you still have to wait for time to run out, I mean why? I already chose my decision so it should just continue, I guess just to waste more time. Top of that game is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really bad game, not worth the money at all. No suspense whatsoever and the story line is crap.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AAA masterpiece
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the shots look great. acting starts out rough but gets better in time. overall, it's a good FMV that can be really thrilling at times despite being rough in the edges.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not a recommendation from me. The lead actress does well enough, but the other actors sound and look like they're reading off a script. There's not much in the way of interactivity or investigation. It's all fairly basic. I pegged the blackmailer pretty early on in Chapter 1 (out of a three chapter game). There were also some audio sync issues in some scenes. I normally replay games like this to see how different choices pan out, but I don't want to bother. It's not a terrible game,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wish I could give this a neutral rating... I don't really like it, but I don't dislike it either. It remind me of the early Wales Interactive games, except worse. The story isn't great, it's short, the game is missing a lot of the QOL features you want from an FMV in 2026. But it has charm to it, and the game is trying to have a message, even if it doesn't develop much depth to it. I'd still play the Wales games first, and then if you want more, then maybe check this out? Weakest of positive…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mid. The setup is interesting and it has it's moments, but majority of character performances are subpar. The way mods are written is awful. Getting proper audio sync seems to be an issue for a few as well. But I appreciate the effort.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not worth the money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't say I've learned anything new or experienced something groundbreaking at this point, however for some reason that I cannot explain I cannot stop playing this game because I want to know - I have to know - I nEED to know who the real hacker is. I keep accusing the wrong people and it really is exciting for me. Look, I know this game would never have existed were it not for wales interactive ruining our lives and shelving GAMER GIRL indefinitely but here we are - and while we aren't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have nothing nice to say about this game. Not worth the money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I first started the game, I thought this was going to be a let down, turns out it was better than expected. The story managed to get me hooked and complete the game to find out and accuse the hacker (or an innocent) for his/her crimes. The acting was not bad overall, it's just affected in certain moments because clearly their main language is not English and somehow some of the actors did an excellent job (others not so much). The first 5-10min was hard for me to understand because of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Çok güzel oyun biraz kısa ama gayet okay. Sinematik sholtlar çok etkielyici gerçekten profesyonel, benim dikkatimi çeken seslendirmeler oldu. Çekimlerin yaınnda biraz sönük kalmış seslendirme ama o da herhalde İngilzice Dublajı da sağlamak için. Genel olarak çok beğendim, tamamen Türkçe böyle işler görmek çok gurur verici. Fiyatı da uygun gayet öneririm.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very short game, but given the low price I think it is a fair deal. It worked great without bugs. Clues were good, tension building was good. I think the game had potential to develop into something much more with more investment, but it's a fresh developer studio and I can understand wanting to get it out there. I will be interested to see what this studio creates in the future.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a first FMV game from an indie developer on a budget, it's more than adequate. Yes, it has bugs. Yes, some ideas are half-baked. Yes, some things don't make sense. And yes, the protagonist won't be winning an Academy Award, but nor should she. The game could have been slightly better with more development (like a functional flowchart instead of a static one!), but since it's quite short, getting 100% completion wasn't a daunting task. I think the game provides consistent quality across the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its okay. More positive than neutral, but the FMV genre isn't really to my tastes. It has great production quality and the main actress is charming enough to keep your focus for at least a single sit through. That was enough to get most achievements without really trying and simply happened while paying attention to the story and its goals. As a game, it's okay. As a movie, it's basic and barebones. As a FMV, it accomplished what it set out to do. As a hobby/passion/student project, it is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →VERY solid point and click mystery with a pleasantly surprising amount of plot twists!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →**Recommended — with caveats.** Hacked: The Streamer is an interactive thriller that puts you in the orbit of PinkyPie, a streamer whose night unravels after a blackmail message lands mid-broadcast. It's a niche premise, and for the most part it works. **Pros** - The story is genuinely interesting. The setup hooks fast, the cast around PinkyPie (mods, ex, brother, BFF) all feel like they have something to hide, and piecing together motives across the 50+ decision points kept me invested…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What did I even play? This was bad. Like real bad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →By my understanding this is Button Interactive's first ever indie game and I must say this FMV is pretty impressive for a debut. The game has multiple choices and they tease and show a whole web of possibilities you may have missed at the end of each chapter. It gives you around and hour and half to 2 hours of gameplay. The nailed the detective feeling of the game. Audio and visual are great. Even the acting is half decent although some moments did sound emotionless or like they were reading…

Oyunda her şüpheli için ip uçları otomatik olarak deftere işleniyor ve tıklayarak ip uclarinin olduğu anlara erişebiliyoruz.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun FMV, Played it with my chat, could be great with a twitch integration, but over all very fun, would reccomend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the idea and I'm okay with the execution as well. Acting, gameplay and etc. get a bit better by the end.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hacked: The Streamer is a solid interactive thriller with an interesting story. It’s definitely more of a slow-burn mystery focused on investigation and dialogue choices rather than action or QTEs. If you enjoy detective-style FMVs and chasing different endings, it’s a fun experience.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Güzel ama eksikleri var. Konsept olarak çok beğendim bir yandan yayında kalıp bir yandan hackerın kim olduğunu bulmaya çalışmak eğlenceliydi, hikayenin konusunun ağır olmasına rağmen. Suçlunun kim olduğu çok bariz değildi ve hikayede güzel beklenmedik plot twistler vardı. Diyaloglar biraz "cringe" ve doğal gelmiyor özellikle oyunun başında, oyun ilerledikçe biraz düzeliyor. Mapte seçmediğimiz diyalog opsiyonlarını seçip farklı sonları deneme olmaması kötü ama zaten uzun bir oyun olmadığı için…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the reason I support Indie developers, the experience was like an interactive movie with an interesting story and decent acting that gets better as the game progresses, you can tell the actors get more comfortable as the game goes on, the culprit was not as obvious as I thought, and i would play it again to see the other endings and choices. Much better than renting a bad movie on Amazon, instead of that buy this good priced interactive movie instead.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hacked: The Streamer, developed by Button Interactive and NAISU and published by GameDev.ist, is a modern FMV thriller that builds its identity around the pressures and vulnerabilities of online life. Framed through the perspective of a content creator whose livestream is taken over by a manipulative and unseen figure, the game leans into themes of privacy, identity, and the blurred line between performance and reality. It’s a concept that feels immediately relevant, tapping into anxieties that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Şu an oyunu bitirmiş birisi olarak etkilendiğimi söyleyebilirim. Yer yer beni germeyi başardıktan sonra oyunu durdurup "ulan hangi seçeneği seçsem" diye düşündürdü beni. Bence Button Interactive ilk yapımına göre gayet başarılı bir oyun ortaya koymuş. Türkçe dublaj seslendirmesi iyi olmuş fakat azıcık Amerikan konuşmasıyla beraber yalandan kalmış gibi hissettirdi, muhtemelen İngilizce oynasaydım buradan bir eksi vermezdim ama Türkçe dublajı merak edince denemek istedim. Ayrıca Türkiye'den de bu…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are some minor bugs, and the functionality on the Steam deck is not great (crashes a bunch, sometimes won’t load the game). With all of that said, it is a fun game. The voice work is not good, actually it’s pretty bad. But again, the story and the gameplay are compelling enough to make this an enjoyable game. Also, for the price there is a lot of bang for your buck. The mystery is well written. Tons of suspicion to go around so you will be guessing at times. Ending is also…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love game but i hope they adding flow chart in game without click new game over
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've got this game for free as a review key back when it released. I didn't like it back there and I still not like it now that I've come back for achievements. I don't expect top acting in FMV games all I need is an interesting story which this game failed to deliver. Having played games like The Shapeshifting Detective or Late Shift this game falls flat compared to them, the one time there's a QTE in this game all you have to do is click multiple times on the edges of the screen, then all…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I tried to keep an open mind, this turned out to be pretty bad: awful dialogue, a very weird script and more bugs than are frankly acceptable for such minimal interaction. It's also very short and basically ends as soon as the story gets going. Not even measuring up to something like The Shapeshifting Detective or even a typical Wales Interactive production, there's really no reason to recommend it, unless it's on a very big discount.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the demo of Hacked: The Streamer on Next Fest earlier. Normally I always play from my sibling's account but I wanted to collect a library for myself this time, so I just bought the game when I saw it. It's decent enough for a 1-2 hour experience, you shouldn't expect anything more. There are some mistakes, although nothing too crucial for the general experience. I enjoyed it and I think many others can, too. Normally I don't do reviews but it's important for the indie crews in order…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall had a fun time playing the game, especially if you like FMV type games. Played it on stream and viewers found the story entertaining and engaging. We had a few theory on who was the person behind it all. It is a short game with only 3 chapters. The only thing I wish developer would patch is adding a borderless mode so i can press on obs without pausing the game and ability to pause game on the screen itself. Disclosure: I received a free review copy of this product from…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed this game. Script was well done for an interactive fiction game. I played the English version and the cast acted very well! I like how they showed the divergence of the path based on your choices and showed the possibility of other options at the end of each chapter. It is a good length game; not too long winded.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oyunu sadece gamedevist'e destek olsun diye aldım yoksa maalesef para verilecek bir oyun değil. Nedenine gelirsem 3 temel şey beni aşırı rahatsız etti. 1. Öncelikle çözünürlük ayarlarını yapınca ekranın dışına yayıyor görüntüyü ve seçimler ekranda çıkmıyor. Maalesef 3440x1440 monitörümde 2560x1440 pencereli modda açmam lazım. 2. Dublaj hem İngilizce hem de Türkçe çok başarısız. Kulaklarım kanadı maalesed ve konudan kopuyorum. 3. Seçim sonrası fazla bekletiyor ve seçim sonucuna geçişte akıcılık…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I purchased this Hacked : The Streamer game on 12 April 2026. I enjoyed this adventure game as i selected the detective mode because getting more clues from various tactics , techniques and strategies are more fun and interesting and also enabled me to analyze and study the behaviors , characteristics and history of the streamer girl's buddies. Encountered a bad ending for 2 times , and finally got a good ending of caught the actual suspect for the 3rd time. Good adventure short film…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like these movie based interactive games, but i really don't know how to rate this one, since it does have so many technical issues that its completely changing my look on the game. Since otherwise the story is great and it's exactly as describen, but completing this on 100% was a pain for me, since skipping scenes i have seen many times barely works, clicking interactions are weird, cutscenes sometimes doesn't play and etc... So if you are willing to suffer from some issues and just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is a fantastic indie debut! I had a blast trying to protect PinkyPie and piecing together the clues. The 'focus moments' and QTEs kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was so much fun that I’m definitely going back to see how different choices impact the story. I can't wait to see what the rest of the anthology brings!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You’re not a character in this game. You’re more like a quiet observer, occasionally nudging the story in different directions by choosing options and clicking the left mouse button at key moments. The story follows a streamer girl, PinkyPie, who has just landed a major sponsorship deal to support her career. She’s excited and can’t wait to share the news on her next stream. At first, everything is as usual. She chats with her usual streaming crew, spends some time experimenting with an AI…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are lots of places where this game stumbled, but none of them matter as much as THE KIND OF PSYCHO WHOSE 'START STREAMING' HOTKEY IS PERIOD IN THE NUMPAD. Anyway I had a blast but for the various stream crimes committed, this streamer is a psychopath who has it coming lmao
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very interesting game. I really like serious games as they tackle topics that unfortunately happen to people. As a streamer, it resonated with me. Plus I really like the mechanics!! The story is 10/10!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed playing this game. It touches on online blackmail, which is honestly a very real and common issue nowadays. What I didn’t like, though, is that when replaying the game, you can’t track your previous choices. It would be great to have some kind of system to see which scenes you’ve already unlocked and which ones are still left to discover, especially for a branching FMV game like this. The games from Wales Interactive handle this much better, and it really adds to the replay…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not bad, But if dev wanna make another FMV games like this, They need hire professional actor XD
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was super excited to play this game! I've had it in my Wishlist forever!! With that being said, I am very disappointed in the story. I literally figured it out from the beginning, seriously like minute 10. It's exactly who you think it would be. The visuals are amazing the concept is great, the outcome (person who did it) is obvious and lacked excitement overall. I LOVE FMV games but this one on a scale of 1-10 would be a 6 at best. It does not have any replay value (the story doesn't change…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The scenes are well-crafted and captivating. The plot and clues are also good. In the end, I made my choice without being 100% sure (and I confess I was wrong twice), but in the end, it was one of the three people I suspected! And with the third one, I found the answer! (obviously)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I honestly didn’t expect to get this hooked, but wow… this game pulled me in HARD 😄 The whole “streamer getting blackmailed” concept is super intense and feels way too real sometimes. I loved how every choice actually matters I kept second-guessing myself like “did I just mess everything up?” 😂 The FMV style makes it even more immersive, like you’re actually part of the story, not just playing it. And PinkyPie? I got way too emotionally invested in what happens to her 😅 Also, the tension……
