In the world of espionage, nothing is as it seems in Obsidian Entertainment's blockbuster role-playing game (RPG) thriller Alpha Protocol. Assume the role of Michael Thorton, a highly skilled government operative trained to eliminate threats to national security. When a mission goes horribly wrong, Thorton is the only one with the information, skills, and audacity to stop an impending international catastrophe. To do so, he will utilize the very government directive that the enemy sought to use against him--Alpha Protocol. Set in the modern day, Alpha Protocol gives you complete control not only of Thorton's actions but also of his personality and attitude, all of which will determine the future of the world as we know it. Blending fast-paced modern combat, significant character advancement, and innovative RPG features, Alpha Protocol brings a fresh new perspective to the genre.
