Zero Protocol

About

You play as a lone survivor trapped inside a crumbling Antarctic research facility in this sci-fi horror game. Explore dimly lit corridors filled with cryptic logs and malfunctioning systems while managing limited resources. The environment shifts between tense stealth sections and brutal combat against biomechanical threats. Puzzle solving is key to unlocking progression and revealing the facility's dark history through scattered data fragments. The game's branching narrative leads to seven distinct endings based on choices made during exploration. Community playthroughs show average completion times hovering around 12-15 hours with multiple playbacks needed to unlock all outcomes. Set against a claustrophobic winter landscape, the atmospheric design and sudden enemy encounters create consistent tension. Developed by R_Games and launching on PC September 26, 2024, it positions itself as a more linear but tightly focused alternative to larger survival horror titles.
