What amazing start of the year! Not only did Midnight Protocol win the "Best Game Moment 2021" award from the Belgian podcast Bitkroeg, Midnight Protocol has also been nominated for a prestigious Independent Game Festival award (IGF). The game was chosen by the IGF jury as a finalist for the Excellence in Design Award, a category that pays attention to game design, level design and balanced gaming experience. What an immense compliment and honour to be mentioned among other amazing indie games we've enjoyed this year! We highly recommend checking out (and playing) the other nominations. In addition, we've been excited to welcomed thousands of new players to our hacker collective. Midnight Protocol is featured in this month's Humble Choice bundle. To celebrate these amazing moments, we are happy to tease our next update for the game: the introduction of our campaign editor! We can't wait to experience Midnight Protocol adventures created by you!

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.
