Blackmail Protocol v0.2 Now Live - Free Play & Gallery

Two new features and a round of fixes.

FREE PLAY (Patreon exclusive)
A new mode from the main menu. No clock, no debt, no loan shark breathing down your neck. The day still turns on its own so quests, contacts and the city keep moving, but nothing is ever due and nothing ends your run. Plant bugs, take your shots, sell them, chase the story at your own pace. A police raid still hurts (they take your drives and prints), but it never ends the game. Free Play has its own save slot and autosaves at every dawn.

GALLERY
Every picture the city can give you, in one place: Toilet, Fitting Room, Gym Shower and Street, over 2,900 shots. Each one stays locked until you actually catch it with a bug or the hand camera. Browse it from the main menu before you start, or from the PHOTOS tab on your PC mid-run. Click any caught shot for the full-size view. Progress is global across all your saves.

Fixes & changes

• Police stop: choosing RUN now starts a real chase. The officer is faster than your walk and slower than your sprint. Break line of sight, get through a door, or open 40 m and you lose them; stand still and you get frisked.

• Run over screen: the game freezes, the save is wiped, and the only ways out are RESTART or MAIN MENU. No more reloading a lost run.

• Photo printer no longer turns 90° after loading a save, and the OUT marker around it is gone.

• Saves audited: drone, installed gear, prints in the bag and ready bugs all survive a reload.
