Dismemberment and the ability to skip cutscenes are coming to The Callisto Protocol

Despite receiving less-than-favorable reviews at its launch last December, The Callisto Protocol has continued to evolve with each update. Specifically, patch 5.01, which was released this week, brings some appreciated changes and new features.
