> HANG YOUR \AT
Will you respect others’ privacy and bank accounts, or leave no stone unturned? Midnight Protocol allows you to play as the hacker you want to be. Help the police track down a rogue hacker, or blackmail a desperate husband trying to recover… dubious pictures. Gain black, grey, and white hat reputation to change the direction of the story based on your choices.

Midnight Protocol’s design focuses on immersing you in a world of digital warfare without complicated hacking mechanics. Your keyboard is your weapon, type commands to eliminate or evade security programs, letting your keystrokes become part of the soundtrack.
> NICE \ECK
Cracking a digital safe or extracting classified data requires careful planning. Pay the troll toll, use digital jackhammers, cloaks, and daggers to combat cybersecurity. Buy new programs or hardware on the black market, and customize your deck to fit your playstyle.
> DI\TRACTIONS ABOUND
Take on dozens of sidequests filled with easter eggs and references, gather additional intel on your targets before you start a mission, and play some hacker chess to wind down. Midnight Protocol is jam-packed with optional missions, providing hours of additional content.

Wow, I think this is the best hacker game I've ever played! I always had trouble with the tutorials in such type of games but this one is perfect! I immediately understood the mechanics and the UI - but that doesn't mean that this game is too easy. "Easy to learn, hard to master", I would say. I love that you can try out different tactics and that there are several ways to achieve your goal. The story is simple but interesting, you can always understand what happens on your screen and find out where to go next. And I love that you only use your keyboard to play! GREAT JOB, DEVS!!
Very stylish and cool cyberpunk hacking simulator. I like!
Combines interesting puzzles with turn-based strategy game and an awesome story.
I went into this game with pretty high expectations, and somehow it still blew me away. It gives you everything you’d want from a cyberpunk hacking experience without becoming overly abstract or drowning you in technical details. Once you get the hang of the basics, you genuinely feel like the biggest badass hacker on the net. The programs and ICEs were cool, well designed and really captured that Android Netrunner vibe. The writing and story kept me hooked all the way to the end. My only complaint is that some choices had consequences that felt a little too harsh and permanent, and that a few side decisions could have had a bit more payoff. Even so, I loved every single second I spent playing this game. Also, bonus points for the European setting.
Really fun, enjoying so far
Phenomenal.
