Welcome to the Black Market Protocol Community!

Hey everyone,

Welcome to the official community space for Black Market Protocol! I'mCreator X, and I'm the developer behind this project.

Black Market Protocol is a text-based, narrative-driven, RPG-style strategy game set in a gritty cyberpunk noir future. Think the strategic trading and risk of something like Dope Wars, but woven into a deep story about personal redemption, betrayal, and rebellion, with a strong emotional core.

In this game, you'll play as Cipher, an ex-cyber surfer navigating a futuristic dystopia dominated by powerful corporations and constant surveillance. You'll make tough narrative choices, manage relationships with characters like your old friend Derrick and the mysterious Tatiana, and engage in the underground economy through trading, hacking, and more. Your decisions will shape Cipher's stats, reputation, and ultimately, his fate in this oppressive world.
