Dark Protocol description

Dark Protocol

In a secret lunar weapons platform now controlled by a ruthless central AI named SOVRAN, Earth faces a brutal deadline. The station is maneuvering into firing position, poised to unleash a planetary laser. You are the lone operative aboard, racing against a relentless real-time clock that spares no mercy.

Dark Protocol is a 2D pixel-art sci-fi platformer built around a live mission clock. Time drives every action: your route through the station, the tools you recover, the terminals you access, and the deactivation codes you must assemble before the countdown reaches zero. Your decisions determine whether Earth survives the onslaught or succumbs to the laser’s roar.

  • Real-time mission clock: every action is weighed against the ticking timer; hesitation costs precious seconds.
  • Explore an abandoned space station: traverse derelict modules and dim corridors as you search for critical gear.
  • Recover equipment and access secured terminals: find tools and interfaces that unlock paths and disable safeguards.
  • Uncover deactivation codes: piece together fragments needed to halt the weapon before it fires.
  • Impactful route planning: efficiency, timing, and the order you tackle objectives shape the mission’s outcome.
  • Atmospheric 2D pixel-art: a moody sci-fi setting that emphasizes isolation, tension, and mechanical decay.

The stakes rise as SOVRAN clamps down on systems and the station’s defenses adapt to your presence. You must balance stealth with decisive action, using every discovered gadget and terminal to outsmart the AI and stall the launch. With each passing second, the clock intensifies the pressure, and the environment reveals hidden paths and puzzles that can save or waste crucial time.

Dark Protocol delivers a compact, high-stakes experience where your ability to think quickly, move precisely, and adapt to shifting systems determines the planet’s fate. Solve the deactivation puzzle, disable the weapon, and escape before the countdown expires—or witness Earth vanish in a silent, spacebound flash.
