Full changelist

• Act 2 of the real-time mode (up until the Dog Pound mission)
• Fixed a bug where Vorpal sword would mess with your deck slots if you rollback after unlocking it
• The jabberwock used to take half damage from breakers that were not the Vorpal Sword, that wasn't communicated clearly, so now the jabberwock just has a double healthbar instead!
• Fixed certain challenges not working on the Monarch mission
• Fixed the real time description of certain programs that were still displaying the turn based version instead.
• Added a fast-forward feature: You can now skip through certain 'cutscenes' in the game by holding down 'TAB'. This feature is most prevalent in Act 3.
• Minor bugfixes

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.
