Rogue Hacker takes the Reigns mold of binary branching choices and different factions and transplants it to an underground world of warring hackers and morally-questionable decisions, in this new game for iPad and iPhone.

As the titular rogue, you find yourself in the midst of an tangled web of alliances and organizations, choosing who to assist to gain favor and new hacking tools. Your decisions on who to help, hinder, or hack shifts the balance between factions and creates a branching narrative to explore.

The actual hacking is presented as a fast-paced arcade mini-game, as you time your taps to evade complex firewall barriers blocking nodes. As you meet more powerful factions, you'll unlock special programs (basically special abilities) that make the arcade action easier, such as slow motion or EMP bursts.

Rogue Hacker is available for £2.99 / $2.99 on the App Store.
