is a point and click adventure video game developed by Red Entertainment and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. In Project Hacker: Kakusei, the player takes control of a hacker named Satoru Amatsubo. Both Satoru and detective partner Rina Okubo are employed by the internet crime-fighting GIS.

Gameplay

The game features hacker-themed puzzles where the stylus is used for, among other tasks, program repair and password cracking. Project Hacker plays like an adventure game outside of these puzzles, similar to the Ace Attorney series.

Development

Project Hacker: Kakusei was developed by Red Entertainment with involvement by publisher Nintendo. Creatures assisted on development. The game was initially announced under the title Detect Hacker at the 2005 DS Conference in Japan.[1] The name was changed to Project Hacker in early 2006.[2] In July 2006, one year after the game's Japanese launch, Nintendo of America filed copyrights for North American packaging and an instruction booklet[3] for Project Hacker: Awakening, the English-translated title of the game. However, this localization never made it to release.[4]

Reception

On release, Weekly Famitsu scored the game a 27 out of 40. [5]

Sales

Project Hacker: Kakusei sold 37,000 copies in its launch week.[6]

In other games

Satoru appears as a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.[7]
