  Hotline got official Windows clients after a year or so! I remember feeling a bit salty that our insular club suddenly had _intruders_ hahaha :) but yeah and around that time people started reverse-engineering the protocol (since it was plaintext) and a linux/BSD client "hx" was written. There are many unofficial clients: https://preterhuman.net/gethotlinekdx.php https://preterhuman.net/gethotlinekdx.php Wow I didn't know Obsession was still being updated, that's awesome! thanks for letting me know lol

  > I was an avid Hotline user at the time and connected via Windows. Was there third party clients? Vague memories... I have a copy of all the official Hotline Windows releases in my archive somewhere. I don't know why, but finding the server software for Windows back when it released was so incredibly difficult. It felt like it was being gatekept.

  Not that I remember. But there was a Mac clone called Carracho, and a little later there was a cross platform clone called KDX made by Haxial. Those were the days.

    Wow this triggered some neural pathways I forgot I had. I remember using both of those clients.
