Hacker's Restart is a game about you and your childhood friend starting a new chapter in your lives in order to save your parents from the legal troubles you brought on yourselves. As the child of a rich family, you have lived a privileged and isolated life. Being protected from the outside world by your parents your entire life, you never had the chance to make a lot of friends. This is the reason why you and your childhood friend Celine started living your lives in front of computer screens. It all started as a fun little way to mess with Celine, hacking into her computer as a prank and having fun with it. Your fascination by the world of hacking quickly spiraled out of control as you got more engulfed by it, which landed you in a sticky situation with the law. Even though who you are- other than your online name- is not known by the government, this doesn't mean that you are safe where you are. This is where your story starts. What will you encounter in your new life? Who can you trust? And most importantly, will you be able to outsmart the law?​

A nice small game. Not much in terms of story or sex scenes tbh. Just a small game that you can finish off in 1 hour. Can give it a go if you don't have anything to do. Both the ladies characters were written nicely, liked them both of them were cute.

The main positives of this game is that the renders are good and it has a variety of scenes and characters, if not enough of them. Although the story makes me feel discombobulated and disoriented. I could not really follow what was going all that well and the ending was very abrupt and it felt very rushed. The only reason im giving this game a three star rating is because a good amount of effort was put into this game, even if it is disjointed as all hell.

This is one of those games which takes way too long to get to the point. The dialogue is pretty awkward too, and poorly paced. Good art though. I really like the models. They're really cute. My constructive criticism is to talk to people who also make VNS, and really know how to write great dialogue, as this certainly has promise, it just needs a good re-write, and it'd be a shame for these models to go to waste. That or collab with someone that can write dialogue really well. Regardless of the future of this project, you're not hurting anyone with it existing, so please, keep working on it. I wish the creator and the fanbase well, and I hope that you all get to continue to enjoy this project, as a lot of you seem to be into it. Edit: I'm told that this project is actually complete, and from what I hear it doesn't have a decent ending, it just sorta stops. Well that sucks. Hope the writing is better for the next project.

Solid 4 stars overall, the story is interesting enough, the models are good and the animations are nice aswell. Maybe could've used being a little bit longer so the story could've also been developed better and also with time to add some more scenes. Recommend the game nonetheless.

As I started playing the game (with the walkthrough mod), I was really prepared to give it 4 stars. I liked the rendering quality, I liked the models themselves, I was engaged in the story, the sex scenes were good and had some teasers in the walkthrough I was looking forward to. I was even ok with the branching paths for the different women, because I'd enjoyed the sex scenes so much. Edit: I did play the updated version and it did quite a bit to clean up the ending and the cheat was excellent. I've revised to 4 stars.

game is somewhat nice but plot is silly and ending was quite rushed, still has some nice lewd-scenes, no big bugs. graphics work and are nice even those aren't top end. like said story is silly but still works even with it's sillyness.

Story is not really that intresting Renders are good Needed more sex scenes No bugs you can play with sounds for sexual stuff ending was rushed Would not recommend it Story is so confusing and rushed ending makes it even worse This game should be tagged abandoned instead of complete This game is not complete it ends after you shoot one of the mafia guys and you decided the faith of the cop his job who was helping you and then the game ends No happy ending game just ends

This is honestly the first time playing and seeing this game. There is a fair amount of detail, and options in this game. Not only does the game offer nice action in the sexual department, but also the choices you get to make.

Renders are decent though a bit grainy. Models are very beautiful and unique. Story is very intriguing. Dialogues are well structured. Animation is so so. Overally a very good game. Bookmarked and keeping an eye out for this one.

Good game so far. It does go a bit sideways here & there. But, all in all, it's good. Seems to only be 2 LIs at the moment. The childhood best friend Celine and a girl they just met, Leah. So, anyway, am giving it a 4 star for now. I'll revisit this rating later down the line.

this game is still in its eearly stages but i liked what i've seen a lot so far. the writing is flawless, no unnecessary walls of text, always to the point and no grammar or spelling mistakes. renders are nothing special but they are good enough and devs can always improve in that department. the backgrounds are mostly familiar from other ren'py games, except some street views. music tracks are nice and used sparingly to help with immersion. i prefer this to listening to continuous and monotonous music, or getting fed up and turning it off altogether. sound effects are successfully placed where they belong, including sex scenes. what i liked most about the game was celine though. she's the most impressive female character i have come across in adult games in a long time. she's beautiful, cute, easy-going, smart, good-mannered. definite girlfriend/wife material. thanks to zoey raven's walkthrough i'm confident i haven't missed any events or scenes with her. all in all a great game already. play it and support the dev if you can.

Basically, I like the game and the premise for the game. The developer seems to have left the love interest (LI) open for the moment and I would love to see more interaction with his childhood friend (as I honestly believe she is the main LI). Not sure yet in which direction the developer is going with regards to LI's, i.e. a solo path or some sort of harem (if I had a choice I would prefer the latter).

Sorry, I meant to do this earlier: I found it was a good start: Story, characters and dialogues quite good, nice graphics, for a v0.1 acceptable game size. Of course not comparable to the big games out there, but so far a nice little game that has a potential in my opinion. I wait with anticipation for a hopefully soon next release.

Review for release v 0.1 Hackers on the run. Story: 3/5 The story centers an MC who's computer skills have pissed off the wrong people (Rich people). He takes his best friends and moves into a new town with a surprise new roommate. Music: N/A Images: 3/5 Remember this is a first release. A few images are grainy and lack of clarity. Also the white text clashes with some of the images making it hard to read. Author has noted these things and will redo some images in future releases. Girls: 4/5 Celene the best friend is cute and supportive. She's looking to change herself in this new town. Maybe to impress someone? Leah is the new roommate who is not shy of who she is and what she wants. (Who knew aspiring industrial engineer's dressed like that) There was a waitress character but not sure if she will play any parts. Choices: 3/5 Nothing to major now since it's a first release. Though some scenes are slightly alter by a few decisions. Sex: 3/5 Yes this release has a sexual scene. Wish list: Future scenes with hacking in them to indicate the MC prowess. A side character or two to fill out the roster and add some diversity among the body types. Thinking a milf or athletic type. Some different ethnicity would be nice (black, asian, hispanic, etc). Since Leah is more open maybe make her the fulfillment of different kinks for the player to tick off her list. Final thoughts. Not a bad start overall. Story is already different from a lot of games out there. Will be interesting to scene how hacking and computer skill will effect the story. I like the two main gals. Celene makes for the shy best friend that wants to impart something to MC if he wants it to go there. (It's cute how shy she gets while also trying to break out of her shell) I assume she is the slow burn character. Leah is obviously the sexual open one so she'll sate the sex part for a bit. (I quite like her freckles) I assume the game will lead to either soloing the girls or setting up for a threesome. But time will tell. Good luck to the new dev. Take criticism well and ignore the trolls. Excelsior
