THE PROTOCOL turns survival into compliance horror.
Players begin with an emergency notice and must choose between SAFE MODE and FULL PROTOCOL.
Core experience pillars:
- Forced shelter pressure through toxic rain and panic systems
- House anchor detection that weaponizes player certainty
- Distorted emergency broadcasts, rule drift, and false all-clear events
- Psychological effects like peripheral sightings, ghost chat, and radio interference
- Optional meta effects in Full Protocol (window behavior, input distortion, system-like panic cues)
Design statement: "The moment a place is recognized as safe, it becomes visible."
This project is still in beta. It can be unstable.
