- Fixed an issue causing players to not receive their Xkeyscore bundle and Turbine C2 card when starting the Royal Gate chapter Ace Magnets
- Removed Operation Smoke Screen from the Mission Center menu
Players having the Ace Magnets issue will have to Abort the Mission and restart it in order to receive their items. We apologize for the inconvenience.
There is a possibility we'll revisit Operation Smoke Screen in the future, but right now it's not stable enough for release.

Original postI have put the game at -70% for the steam summer sales. If you bought the game at full price in the last 4 weeks, contact me via [email protected] and I'll send you the difference via paypal.
Started pre-covid, our "Going Dark" project is finally completed!
- New hacking raid event / Capture the flag
- Linux Ubuntu + Gnome now in Beta
- Incognito game mode / ability to play without any third party account
- Complete removal of Google Analytics tracking from all our websites
- Closing our Facebook ad account and removal of all our ads tracking and targeting services
- Shutdown of all our newsletter and removal of all email address
- Firing our ads agency
In incognito mode, your progression is saved to your steam account. You still can play from multiple computers without losing progress. From now on we will rely purely on our community for the growth and success of this game. No more targeted ads, in fact no more advertising agency. If there is a penny to be spent on promoting our game, it will be either to help journalists or fans playing with our games. If you enjoy the game, help us by leaving a review on steam or talk about it with your friends. We will follow shortly with a major rewrite of our legal privacy policy document to now support cloaking, VPN or any form of client anonymity.
For ARG events, The Black Watchmen crossover or any integration that is required to link your game with external projects, you will still be able to keep or create an A&S Accounts. Keep in mind that A&S Accounts and Incognito Mode will not be linked. These are two entirely different login systems so progression won't be shared between accounts.
This update also introduces our hacking events engine. Powered by Unreal Engine, these 'locations' are hosted on our server stack and can be targeted as part of mission or CTF events (Capture the flag). Hacking events can host a single player mission or collective missions. They can be part of storyline missions, bounty or open world.
Some of the unique features you can expect in a hacking event:
- Persistent location that can be targeted with your Stinger OS
- Live 24h/7 coverage via Signal Intelligence tools and RTMP Camera Feed
- Reset every 4 hours, similar to a dungeon in some MMOs
- Each persistent location is also streamed in real-time on Twitch
- Ability for bystanders (twitch audience) to interact and affect the location
Using the same technology that we used to build the Paradox Interactive - PDXCON 2021 show, hacking events can include real life actors, similar to what you had during The Black Watchmen live event. For more information, you can watch a 'behind the scenes' clip where I explain the technology:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1032298462?t=09h02m42s
The first hacking location will open with Operation Smoke Screen, part of our Sec-9 storyline. This event, which is currently in beta, will show up in your mission center on July 2nd. It will be a free event for all NT4 owners. Hack an entire city block, control security cameras, take down the power grid and deploy agents on the ground to infiltrate an air gap network.
We have started the migration of both NT4 and Black Watchmen to Unity 2021. This comes with improvements to the overall loading time but also better compatibility with MacOS and Linux.
We now finally have a stable version of NT4 under Ubuntu 18.04 /w Gnome. If testing goes well, we hope to release the Linux edition in the coming weeks.

Original postGreetings Agents!
Following Twitch Approval, Sec-9 Closed Beta invites are now open!
Sec-9 Twitch Extension activates your Stinger OS as an overlay to the twitch stream. Not only you can enter various commands and interact with your Uplink-51 Module, you can participate in raids an attack various areas.
The Twitch Sec-9 Extension doesn't require a NITE Team 4 account. But you will need a copy of NT4 if you wish to carry out network intrusions in the Sec-9 Shibuya district.
Twitch players can send files to any NITE Team 4 agents for further investigation, password cracking, digital forensic, etc... Files sent from twitch will appear in your Stinger OS Local Folder.
Sec-9 brings a complete new persistent 3D universe using Unreal Engine. Alone or with a squad, you can crackdown part of Shibuya district in Tokyo, gather evidence and complete special bounties.
https://aliceandsmith.typeform.com/to/bM47joEH
In the last year, we have heavily invested in our engine that manages all of our MMOARG technology, including The Black Watchmen universe of which NITE Team 4 is part of. If you wish to learn more about what we are currently working on, check out our 'Under the hood' segment during the PDXCON convention:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1032298462?t=09h02m42s
NT4 will now support incognito sessions, removing the needs of a third party account. Our steam policy will also be updated to allow any cloaking or VPN technology. This was the last step to complete our 'Going Dark' initiative last year that involved the removal of all tracking tools, google analytics and abolition of all ads tools and networks.
Stealth mode will be roll out on June 29th.
Black Watchmen account will still be supported for cross-play and live operations. A new companion app is on it's way to provide anonymous cellphone number and private email account for all agents. Stay tuned!

Original postToday, we are introducing a major experimental update to explore the potential of NITE Team 4 as a hacking MMO.
In the last year, we have established NT4 as a solid single-player and multiplayer game with hundreds of missions, hiveminds, bounties, etc… Today, we introduce a series of new features that are running on our persistent engine, the one behind many of our ARGs, including the Tender app from Paradox’s Bloodlines 2.
Here is a short summary of the various features you will be able to experiment:
This new series of experimental mechanics are being introduced in the world of Sec-9, a new faction you will have the chance to discover in the upcoming months. Last week, many players have reported weird hacking missions being offered on the bounty board by an elusive group named Sec-9. Set in a dystopian world not far from a mix of Ghost in a Shell and Blade Runner, this group will drive you deep in the world of mercenary hacking groups, rogue states and shadow wars where hackers like you are, by far, the most lethal assets.
WARNING: Sec-9 requires the Uplink-51 upgrade installed in your Goliath-7.
Sec-9 is an opaque organization. To gain entry, a player from the community who already has access to the Sec-9 config file will need to copy it to your Stinger OS. Once you have it, simply open the file from your Localhost and Sec-9 will become a new contact in your Uplink51 module. You will also have the required permissions to share the file to another agent and help the mission propagate throughout the community.
Agents do not need to be both online at the same time to share config files. You can ask for help in Discord and the Steam forums. We wanted to recreate the feeling of warez file sharing (May 2004) on IRC, for the older one who remembers those days...
For now, only Sec-9 config files in your Localhost can be copied between players.
Another way to gain access is via a community Twitch raid. Anyone streaming the game for 15 minutes with a minimum of 15 NT4 agents with them will gain the Sec-9 access file. Every minute, your viewer will also have the chance to roll on one of NT4 skins. If they win, a notification will be displayed in the right corner of your Stinger OS.
Early this year, we announced a migration of our backend technology with plans to delete all players info and remove our custom login system. These changes also included shutting down our newsletter and removing all Google Tracking. Basically giving us the ability to run all our operations with zero user tracking. Covid-19 has greatly affected our business, as it has affected so many of you also. We will keep you updated when we are ready to remove the log-in system.
You can read more about the Going Dark update here.

Original postDeleting all players info. Shutting down our newsletter. Removing all Google Analytics.
To start off this new decade, we at Alice & Smith have challenged ourselves to pursue a world where absolutely none of our players’ information is tracked. None!
Being an ARG Transmedia company makes this especially challenging, but here is some information on how we plan to change.
During the year, we will migrate our main authentication server and remove all user account creations. You are still going to be able to create or use your existing agent login nickname, but emails will not be used anymore. (No third party account anymore!)
We will delete all your email login data, and we will also purge all IP addresses and filter them in the future. We will update our Terms and Agreement and our Privacy Policy to not only allow Cloaking and VPN technology, but even encourage them.
Google Analytics and all other marketing tracking tools have already been removed from our site, and will be removed shortly from all our other touchpoints.
We are shutting down our newsletter and will delete all account history and tracking data.
We are reducing ingame playstream data to only gameplay and game mechanic optimisations by refactoring much of our code.
These changes WILL NOT impact your gameplay experience, your current progress, or your ability to keep your progress between multiple devices.
Our goal is to not remove the level of immersion you find in our games or projects. We still want you to receive a demonic phone call at 3 in the morning, and infiltrate the *real* website of shady heavy water vendors on the internet.
Green Level Missions, where an elected player is flown to a mystery city for a 48h immersive experience, will still require the same extensive medical and psychological evaluation. That said, we are working on a new project for our Red, Orange and Yellow clearance levels.
The concept of creating an ARG companion app is nothing new. Even in one of our earliest ARGs on Unfiction we were talking about having our own dedicated communication platform.
The Black Watchmen series became our pride along with the ARGs we have had the privilege to create for our incredible clients (Paradox Interactive, White Wolf, Hello Games, Funcom...). It is important for our work to find better ways of staying in connection with you while being able to create puzzles spanning outside the game that blend digital and physical storytelling.
Some of the features we will roll out as part of our companion app:
- ARG mission alerts
- A private secure email address ([email protected])
- Your own ARG burner phone number (VoIP real landline number)
- Chat integration with Google AI for puzzle help and hints
- Looking for Group (LFG) system for puzzle solving
- Geocaching, dead drop and live drop notifications (Google Map integration)
Although we are working on this app for our own needs, we plan to make it open for any ARG creators who wish to utilize it, but don’t have the infrastructure to run it.
If you’d like to follow the project, join our (new) Telegram channel here:
http://t.me/arg_appThere are many, many ways that are much more fun than email! :)

6 new open-world missions are released in echo to the unprecedented G7 Cyber Attack simulation in real life (Read more on Reuters).
In this alternate reality, the vulnerability report prepared by the G7 during the attack simulation has fallen into the wrong hands, and NT4 has to race against time to plug the leak before attackers can wreak havoc on the US economy.
7 new bounties will also be added to the current world drop. These bounties will give you the chance to infiltrate the infamous SureFire military arms dealer and collect really cool Goliath-7 upgrades along the way.
Twitch Drop 2.0 >
Watching a NITE Team 4 stream on twitch will now give you a chance to earn a Goliath-7 upgrade item. Every 60 seconds, a loot table will be rolled for everyone watching the stream. If you win, a notification will be displayed in the streamer’s Stinger OS, and the item will be added to your inventory.
We have also added a nice reward for the host. If you are streaming NITE Team 4 on twitch with a minimum of 20 viewers, you will automatically gain an rare, epic or legendary upgrade after 15 minutes. Other rewards will also be earned after 30 minutes, 45 minutes and 60 minutes.
To be eligible, both streamer and spectators need to enable their twitch drop setting here: Twitch Drop Campaign.
Our Discord Server now features a stream's channel where you can get alerts of any ongoing stream within the community.
Watching a stream as a group can be fun and also rewarding. We are planning to add special events, missions, and bounties that will be unlocked by all participants in a stream and could be played as a group. Stay tuned!

Original postHello Agents,
The new Open World mission, titled Disinformation Sharing is now available for all players! For this mission, the usual 3 parts will be released over the next 3 days. Members of the G7 are conducting a series of simulated cyber attacks against their own financial sectors in an effort to increase cyber-security and provide multi-national information sharing. NITE Team 4 is tasked to work in secret alongside the NSA and US Cyber Command to conduct the American tests.
Here are the patch notes:
New features
- New Open World Mission G7 2019 Part One - Disinformation Sharing
- Added a new variable in the Social Engineering Toolkit configuration in the CMS/Hivemind Creator, letting you set the success rate of your SET attack. A visual indicator was also added in the game to let you know if you reach that threshold.
Bugfix
- Fixed a bug in the Open World that caused Xkeyscore entities to not be properly given when downloaded from the Open World menu.
- Fixed a bug that caused some players to not be able to click on the FAY Action Required button.
- Fixed a bug that allowed players to simultaneously drag a window will resizing another.
- Fixed a bug that caused Audio to not play at the start of the game for new players.
- The Notepad will now always be shown on top of the UI, even in the Open World and Bounties menus.
- Fixed a bug that caused the mouse cursor to stay in “resize mode” when quitting a module via keyboard shortcut

Original postHello agents,
Before we start production on the next Open World mission, we wanted to take some quality time to revise the different aspects of StingerOS’s UI that we thought could use some improvements.
We’ve listened to you, the community, and implemented many of the suggestions that were heavily requested. We think these changes will make StingerOS more intuitive and enjoyable to use.
Here are the patch notes :
New features
- It is now possible to resize Terminals and Image Viewer windows.
- The UI is more responsive and the elements on the top corners will now collapse when a module or terminal is near them. This was done to alleviate the UI depending on the needs of the player.
- Multi-Monitor Support (Beta) has been added to the game for up to 3 monitors. The feature requires that all monitors be on the same native resolution before starting the game in order to work properly.
- Drastically reduced loading time at the start of the game, allowing faster access to the Mission Center.
- Added an option allowing you to set the opacity for active and inactive windows.
- The Open World and Bounty missions have now been moved to the Mission Center interface, alongside the Academy and Story Mode. All of the game’s primary content can now be accessed in one area.
- Open World and Bounty missions will now unlock in tandem with Story Mode, after completing Basic Operations in the Academy. This is to allow a better game flow for new players.
Bugfix
- Fixed a bug that caused the level up from 2 to 3 to not properly trigger at the end of CastleIvy.
- Fixed a bug in the CMS that prevented players from accessing file browsers created in the legacy API.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the Open World mission objective to properly refresh when resetting the mission.
- Fixed a bug in Xkeyscore where a removed entity would still be considered in a search when it should have been removed entirely
- Fixed a bug that caused the Active Directory and File browsers to refresh automatically whenever a command was made in another workspace.
- Fixed an interface bug caused by having multiple Phone CID Backdoor modules opened on the same workspace.
- Fixed an issue that caused Xkeyscore to continue scanning after clicking on the Reset button.
- The input field for the Active Directory and FileBrowser is now much longer, to cover it’s perceived length.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the resolution setting to save properly

- The Com Center has been removed as it was no longer in use, thus freeing up a previously used Workspace
Bugfix
- Added a drop down menu for the Resolution selection
- Fixed a bug that made it impossible to change or remove a file browser target host when an invalid address was entered

- In Xkeyscore, the No Relation/Partial Relation pop up will now close automatically once a new selection has been made (It’s no longer necessary to manually click on the Close button to remove the pop up)
- Succeeding a Password Attack will no longer show a “Try Again” button, but rather a “Return” button
- Fixed a visual glitch that caused the Xkeyscore timer to briefly show 00:00:00 before counting down

Developed by Alice & Smith (nothing to do with our crew, but a studio that John is rather fond of) it’s a game of military hacking and espionage with serious command-line stuff wrapped in some lovely-looking interfaces. Just going on looks alone, it’s come a long way since its minimalist 2016 demo – see a trailer below.

Original postAgents,
After 3 years of work, NITE Team 4 version 1.0 is now live!
NITE Team 4’s community has now grown to 13,200 players, and we have a big goal for this unique hacking game!
It is a highly emotional moment for us, and we want to thank you for all the feedback and time you have spent with us improving the game.
We are a Montreal-based indie studio. Gaming is what we do for living. We created Alice & Smith not only so people could have fun, but also to bring a deeper layer to the games you spend time with.
With NITE Team 4, we wanted you to discover the world of cyber security and modern cyber warfare. Even the “silliest” mission we made is actually based on real events and declassified missions operations that happened around the world in the last 5 years.
Royal Gate, the final operation of season 1, is now live. This latest update marks the end of our Early Access phase. Now with more than 70 missions and operations broken down in the Academy, Campaign mode, Bounties, and Open World missions, NITE Team 4 should provide you with many hours of gameplay.
The journey is far from over. Kickstarter rewards, side quests, bounties, open world missions, player created factions, and more multiplayer features will follow in the upcoming weeks and months (View our 2019 Roadmap here).
We are also excited to announce our first business partnership: The International Air Transport Association[/url] (IATA) will use NITE Team 4 as a training platform for cyber threats in the aviation industry.
Although IATA staff and partners will have their own missions for their industry, improvements to the game will still be rolled out on Steam, enabling new modules, features, and game mechanics.
Many publishers shy away from original or fringe content, while the marketplace gives little to no exposure to new indie titles. Most marketing options on the table are designed to spam gamers with banners and video ads until they get sick.
It is not an easy landscape, but that’s the reality of the market, and we have to make the most out of it. The survival and existence of studios like us are entirely and exclusively possible because of players like you who give non-traditional games a chance.
It is important you realize how important you are. From everyone at Alice & Smith, a big thank you!
Now, let's start working on version 1.1. There are still tons of features and content to add to this great game!
Cheers!
