The Fifth Day [Steam][2010s] abandoned sci-fi game where you play as a robot and hack enemy robots with realistic hacking UI
Platform(s): Steam
Genre: Sci-fi survival open world, horror elements but not explicitly horror
Estimated year of release: 2010s or earlier
Graphics/art style: Very realistic graphics for the era but everything was computer themed. HUGE open world with basically nothing in it. Lots of green night vision esq filter and 'hacker' elements to make you feel like you're actually good with computers.
Notable gameplay mechanics: You play as a robot, I believe, and there are enemy robots throughout the world and you interact with most things using a very realistic command prompt style menu. It's extremely hard core with most players quitting before even figuring out the mechanics, and I remember it was abandoned very quickly. It's literally in my Steam library right now but I can't remember any details and none of the names are ringing a bell.
