I’m not quite sure if you guys and girls still remember it, but back December of 2017 we published a post about how Alice & Smith’s military hacking RPG “NITE Team 4” received an 800,000 USD investment from a handful of investors.
Well, guess what? Just now we were informed by Alice & Smith that “NITE Team 4” is now available via Steam:
“Hi!

Version 1.0 of the games includes more than 70 missions and operations broken down into various categories for every level of player >
The Training Academy is specifically designed for people with no technical or cyber security expertise.
The Main Storyline is inspired by real-life military and civilian cyber security operations.
The ARG Open-World Investigation is required in game, but also requires outside-the-game online research, emailing NPCs, hidden websites, fake employees on social media, etc…
Bounties and side quests with various intelligence agencies around the world, such as NSA, CIA, GCHQ, CSIS, MSS, and GRU.
A&S is also publishing a Network Editor’s Toolset that lets players and partners design and create their own cyber security scenarios in NITE Team 4. Primarily for the professional industry, more than 47 networks are already available, expanding the game every day.
Version 1.0 will be followed by a road map that includes player-created factions, multiplayer (already available in beta in the game), raid modules, and other Kickstarter rewards and upgrades.” – Alice & Smith
In other words, if you’re into hacking themed RPG/simulation games, then you might want to give “NITE Team 4” a go.
