A C++ game created on the theme "Hacking", using the custom ASGE engine.

Hidden in Plain Sight is a party game created with heavy inspiration from Adam Spragg's console game of the same name. The game is local multiplayer, with one player playing as the hacker, and the other as police. The role of the hacker is to hack all 5 terminals without being detected, whilst the job of the police is to find and eliminate the hacker without harming too many civilians.

The game scene has many wandering AIs to allow the hacker to blend in, and make it harder for the police to track down the hacker. But the terminals will light up when hacked to help the police narrow down their search. Utilising smoke grenades and masking their human movement is important for the hacker to evade, whilst marking innocent civilians will allow the police to close in on the hacker.
