Alpha Protocol™

Michael Thorton is an agent cast out by his government after gaining information about an impending international catastrophe. He must operate outside the organization he once served while deciding whom to trust and what kind of operative to become.

Across covert missions, you can use stealth, weapons, gadgets, and hacking to pursue objectives. Conversations offer different approaches, and your decisions can affect relationships, mission events, and how characters respond to you.

Skill points let you develop Thorton along different paths, including stealth and weapon specialties. Mission order and past choices can influence later encounters and story outcomes, supporting different approaches across playthroughs.

Players often praise the choice-driven story, especially how dialogue, mission order, and past actions can change character reactions and later events. Many also enjoy the spy setting, writing, and replay possibilities. These strengths are frequently praised alongside complaints that combat and stealth feel clunky or inconsistent.
