The PC version of Alpha Protocol is now available for purchase, digital rights management-free, via GOG for $19.99, the distribution platform announced in partnership with SEGA and Obsidian Entertainment. It is available at a 10 percent-off discount launch prince of $17.99 until April 3.
This re-release of the 2010-released espionage RPG features a licensed soundtrack, achievements support, full controller support (DualSense, DualShock 4, Switch Pro Controller, Xbox Series Controller, and Xbox One Controller), localization support, cloud saves support, and is compatible with modern operating systems.
Alpha Protocol first launched for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on May 27, 2010 in Australia, May 28, 2010 in Europe, and June 1, 2010 in North America. In June 2019, SEGA delisted Alpha Protocol from digital stores such as Steam due to expired music licenses.
Here is an overview of the game, via GOG:
Loyalty carries a price and no one knows this more than agent Michael Thorton. A talented young agent cast out by his government, Thorton is the only one with the information needed to stop an impending international catastrophe. To do so means he must cut himself off from the very people he is sworn to protect. As players determine how to accomplish different objectives, the decisions made and actions taken in each mission will ultimately transform the type of secret agent Michael Thorton will become. Every choice the player makes as Michael Thorton will carry consequences for his future and the fate of the world.
