 .hack is the title of a series of four video games for the PlayStation 2 produced by Bandai and Cyber Connect 2. Set after the events of .hack//SIGN, the plot of the games follow the story of the .hackers Kite (カイト) and Black Rose (ブラックローズ) and their attempts to find out what caused the sudden coma of Kite's friend, Orca (オルカ) whilst he played the MMORPG The World. Over the course of the games, a virus begins to spread through The World, causing many players to also fall into comas; this event is usually referred to as The Twilight Incident. CC Corp., the fictional corporation behind The World, plans to take the game servers offline, killing all comatose victims, including Orca. Kite and his party must hack through the servers and AIs to discover the truth behind The World before time runs out. Image File history File links Dothack_hack_logo. ...
