Story:.Hack//Infection is the first of a series of four games, titled .hack//Infection, .hack//Mutation, .hack//Outbreak, and .hack//Quarantine, features a "game within a game"; a fictional massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) called The World which does not require the player to connect to the Internet. Players may transfer their characters and data between games in the series. Each game comes with an extra DVD containing an episode of .hack//Liminality, the accompanying original video animation series which details fictional events that occur concurrently with the games.
The games are part of a multimedia franchise called Project .hack which explores the mysterious origins of The World. Set after the events of the anime series .hack//Sign, the games focus on a player named Kite and his quest to discover why some users have become comatose as a result of playing The World. The search evolves into a deeper investigation of The World and its effects on the stability of the Internet.Show more

Unfortunately, .hack is the unloved middle child of Bandai Namco stuck between Digimon and SAO. The Sequel games from the "second season" of the .hack series were already remade, so it's only right to make these historic gems accessible...especially since the 25th Anniversary will be in a couple of years. I ask folks to please just give these games a chance.
This was one of the first rpgs I ever played, after pokemon. I fell in love with the world, the characters, the level grind, all of it. the .hack series has always had a special place in my heart and I've been dying to be able to play them updated for pc. In these uncertain times, this game would bring a real spark of joy to my life.
What appears to be a very basic RPG, .hack actually has quite an interesting concept and story. I played through this game alongside the anime series and it was quite an interesting experience. I believe the entire franchise needs to be preserved because of its cultural significance, rather than relying on fans keeping backups and sharing them in the grey areas of the web. I'd definitely buy it just for the convenience of not having to dig out the files from my archives, and so that others get to experience these stories too!
Please let me give you my money!
.hack//IMOQ is probably my favourite set of PS2 games and one of my favourite franchises to this date. The old MMO aesthetic of the first four/five games is a relic of a bygone era of gaming, with oldstyle menus to flip through, different and elemental areas to test your strength, quests for rare items and volume exclusive companions, and loads of NPCs to both trade with. I would love to see this game be available on GOG 💙
It's such an immersive RPG and brings me back to the heyday of anime! All four parts are a piece to a huge puzzle in discovering the mysterious disappearances of players in an online RPG, which I like to title "Elder Scrolls gone Wrong". There are many towns and dungeons to explore alongside serene soundtracks of music. The bosses can be challenging like an actual MMORPG, with features to make you feel like an online user in the fictional game. Every game is like an episode of an anime that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Please GOG, many fans of this series have been waiting for these games to be resurrected, you guys are our last hope. Thank You
A good chunk of my middle school free time was on this quadrilogy (sadly the GU one wasn't imported in Europe until Last Recode) but I still managed to follow the series and get a bunch of stuff related to this franchise.
This series is very close to my heart and I would love if more people had the chance to try it.
Phantasy Star Online but by a 90s anime allstar lineup: Character designs by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Nadia, Evangelion) & Written by Kazunori Ito (Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell). Delightfully 'of their time' games, replete with lashings of simulated computer desktops, message boards, emails and more. Far superior to the later entries in the .hack series.
Grew up playing games with dual-up internet, so MMOs were a distant dream for a long time. But the .hack games were a wonderful simulation of what I’d been missing out on. The music is still stuck in my head!
I first discovered this franchise through a friend that showed me this new manga he got when we were 12, I then started watching the animes and fell in love with its world mystery and characters trying to find out what's going on in the mmorpg they play. You can really tell the love that was put into writing every piece and designing the game and the characters that make you fall in love. This would be a breath of fresh air for the franchise since the IMOQ trilogy seems to have been forgotten by their publishers. Also the relief and joy that would bring easy access to these games.
Man this game was my life please make it comeback i hate emulation and i honest to god want nothing more than simply drop U$70 and have the 4 games on a switch or something! Anything! Please! Even steam will do!

Okage: Shadow KingConquer your demons and you may conquer the world in this distinctly styled role-playing adventure for the PlayStation 2. Some have compared the look of this game to Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas and the fluid, stop-motion appearance of the three-dimensional characters is not completely unlike that seen in seasonal television specials. OKAGE: Shadow King is not a holiday story, however, but a dark tale of polar opposites that questions basic notions of identity and essence.
Players take the role of Ari, a young man with a remarkable affliction. A powerful demon -- calling himself "Stan" -- has taken refuge in Ari's shadow and is becoming infused in the boy's life.
