The game was created with the aim of making users aware of the problems of computer security and privacy on the Net. The video game can be used both in a didactic way during lessons and workshops, and enjoyed individually by children and teenagers.

"Nabbovaldo and the blackmail from Cyberspace" is inspired by the comic "Nabbovaldo against PC Zombies", an album published within the "Comics & Science" series published by Cnr.

The video game has the same protagonists and the same setting as "Internetopoli", which reflects the complex world of the Net in the totally imaginary environments and characters.
