So, being hesitant to download a piece of software called "Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltratiOn.apk" would be understandable for fans of the show. There's nothing to fear, however, as the suspiciously titled file is actually a smartphone game made to promote the series' second season. The game takes on the appearance of an internal message app for the fictional E-Corp, and, in the narrative, the user finds a phone on the ground that turns out to belong to one of the most nefarious black hat hackers in the world. Using the E-Corp messaging system, players navigate the "technological minefield" of the [cybersecurity world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masterclass-cyberwarfare). The game is available on [iOS and Android](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-community-widgets). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cybersecurity Gaming:** There is a trend of developing cybersecurity games as a form of edutainment. - **Branded Entertainment Apps:** Brands are leveraging the popularity of entertainment franchises to create engaging mobile apps and games. - **Interactive Narrative Games:** Narrative-driven games that immerse the player in a fictional storyline are on the rise. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can further leverage their franchises to create engaging apps that promote their content. - **Cybersecurity:** Developing engaging cybersecurity games can help educate people on the importance of cybersecurity practices. - **Mobile Gaming:** There is an opportunity for more engaging and immersive storytelling in mobile gaming. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Streaming Series Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thronglets-game.md) - [Sci-Fi Series-Inspired Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-puzzle-tales.md) - [Show-Inspired Free-to-Play Mobile Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squid-game-unleashed.md) - [Mobile Escape Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-escape-hopeless.md) - [Free Mobile Sci-Fi RPGs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relic-hunters-rebel.md) - [Streamed Mobile Game Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immortality-game.md) - [Code Cracking Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/locked-crack-the-code.md) - [Lighthearted Mobile Shooter Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-big-robots.md) - [AR-Based Ghost Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-phone.md)
