This playable demo of Packet Runner lets you step in to the shoes of a data packet courier, running information back and forth across the network. Every job for you is just like the last one, until an ordinary customer comes to you with an extraordinary request. Play this cyberpunk noir and learn more about internet privacy, data encryption, and the systems that underpin your every online search and website visit.

This demo is a portion of the full Packet Runner game, a work in progress. Follow @katerosebee on Twitter or the #PacketRunner hashtag to get progress updates and notifications of game release this summer. See you on the network...
