Недалекое будущее. Политическая обстановка в мире накалена до предела из-за крайне неприятного инцидента: в небе над Восточной Европой американской ракетой был сбит авиалайнер, совершавший коммерческий рейс. В результате катастрофы все находившиеся на борту погибли. Правительство США официально заявило о непричастности к произошедшему. Одному из самых опытных агентов американских спецслужб Майклу Тортону поручено задание провести расследование и отыскать виновников трагедии, чтобы предотвратить назревающий международный конфликт.

***В проекте Alpha Protocol игрок получает возможность не только полностью контролировать действия и поведение главного героя, но и определять его отношение к происходящему, что повлияет на развитие событий. Реализованная в игре современная боевая система рассчитана на быстрое принятие решений. Эти интересные особенности в совокупности с возможностью интенсивного развития героя и инновационными ролевыми элементами, тщательно продуманным сюжетом, который может соперничать с лучшими произведениями в жанре шпионского боевика, а также детально проработанным виртуальным миром, где обеспечивается полный эффект присутствия, позволяет назвать Alpha Protocol ролевой игрой нового поколения.

Суперпрофессионал. Бесклассовая система развития персонажа позволяет игроку сделать из главного героя суперагента с абсолютно любой специализацией: непревзойденного мастера рукопашного боя, великолепного снайпера, виртуоза по обращению со всевозможными техническими устройствами — в общем, профессионала высшего класса в любой области.

Международный шпионаж. Игроку предстоит путешествовать по всему миру: посещая явочные квартиры, чтобы встречаться с нужными людьми и получать необходимую информацию, он побывает в самых разных уголках планеты, в том числе в Риме, Москве, Тайбэе и Саудовской Аравии.

Конструктивный диалог. Благодаря инновационной системе диалогов все персонажи будут соответствующим образом реагировать на каждую реплику главного героя. Чтобы вести беседу в правильном ключе и не создать ненужной напряженности в отношениях с кем-либо, игроку придется быть очень внимательным, порой же не помешает проявить остроумие.

Искусство воевать. Широчайший выбор оружия, а также всевозможных усовершенствований позволяет создавать уникальную боевую экипировку для каждой миссии. В распоряжении агента ультрасовременная техника, всё необходимое для проведения скрытных операций, различные взрывные устройства и многое другое.

Свобода выбора. В игре не предусмотрено верных или ошибочных решений. Общаясь с союзниками и противниками, совершая те или иные действия, игрок может кардинально изменить сюжетную линию, открыть новые миссии и получить доступ к новому оружию.

Быстрота — залог успеха. На принятие любого решения и на каждое конкретное действие в игре отведено определенное количество времени, которое стремительно истекает. Поэтому игроку необходимо думать быстро, работать четко и всегда быть готовым к последствиям своих поступков.
