Gamescom & Release window change

We're also excited to (digitally) be at Gamescom 2021! We won't have any major news to share or trailers to reveal, but it'll be an exciting opportunity to show Midnight Protocol to new people. And finally, we're pushing our release window slightly. Initially we said Midnight Protocol would fully release this summer, that's changing to Q4 2021. We can't give away the exact date yet, but it won't be late in Q4, think more like Q4.1! Take the updated demo for a spin and let us know what you think on the forums, or on Discord! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1162700/Midnight_Protocol/

Hack into servers, beat security and steal encrypted data in a world where your identity is just another network address. An engaging story, agonizing dilemmas, and an easily accessible hacking system turn every player into a network hacker in Midnight Protocol.

Midnight Protocol is a tactical narrative-driven RPG set in a near future filled with labor automation, big data, controversial AI applications, legal gray zones, and the nebulous nature of online identity. You assume the mantle of a prominent hacktivist who has been targeted for blackmail by a shadowy branch of government.

The player interacts with their virtual environment through text commands, hacking into countless challenging networks. Character development and roleplay choices made during and in between missions affect the storyline and outcome of the game.
