A downloadable game for Windows

Zero Protocol in Steam

Focus on exploration

Find passwords for doors, search for access cards for terminals, repair damaged equipment and combine items. Think with your head.

Intense battles

You have a gun, but that doesn't mean you're safe. The enemies here are deadly, and not all of them can be killed...

The atmosphere of cold loneliness

Graphics inspired by classic 3D games such as Zero Tolerance, System Shock and Half Life, combined with atmospheric sound effects, make the game world even darker and more inhospitable.

Nonlinear narrative

Balance between clarity and madness, making conscious or unconscious decisions, and finding out what they will lead to!

This game is so so Well done, i get so many vibes from it, resident evil, Doom, it is a neat idea, i love the mystery so far and the puzzles are not too easy or hard, the camera idea is flawless, especially for pea brains like me XD thank you so much for the chance to play this DEMO, I time stamped the start of the game in this video.

Really enjoyed the game, can't wait for it to be released. I did notice something that MIGHT be a bug. When flashlight power reaches 2% it will not let me turn it off, I have to wait for the power to reach 0%.

Zero Protocol Demo offers a unique blend of science fiction and suspense. The puzzles and environment stand out, keeping me engaged. Excited to explore more in the full game!

Great vibes, very "System Shock-y" which is what you where probably going for.

Scary Enemies, good mechanics, very intrigued to see what the full Game will be like and what kinds of things you will do with the sanity and the items. It's just a demo so not much to critique but the overall atmosphere and gameplay is very fun!

(it's easy to forget that the flashlight is on, when the power turned back on)

Hi! Thank you for your interest in my game!
I would like to make the game accessible to as many players as possible, but it contains a lot of text, and localization will cost quite a bit of amoney. Therefore, I will not make any specific promises now.
Anything is possible if the game becomes popular enough among the players :)

Something is wrong with the graphics, objects appear through walls.

edit: also massive fps drops every 5-10 seconds

While I look for ways to fix these problems, you can try running the game using the built-in graphics adapter. (if available)
It is also useful to know your system configuration.

10700k / RX6800 / Win10 

Using the iGPU on the 10700k (UHD 630) does solve the issue.

So far, it seems that problems are only seen with AMD RX graphics cards.
I will work to resolve this issue. Thanks for the information!

Thanks for the video!

PICTURES BELOW: I tried to play and record this for my YouTube channel, but the games graphics are bugged. You see through everything.

Obviously, I do not want to showcase a game in this current state and that the game is legitimately unplayable since most interactable are invisible.

My drivers are on the latest version and are always a clean install, no other game has this behavior.

Had to use imgur as itch won't allow pictures to be posted saying server error.

Thanks for the information! This is the first time I've seen this. What kind of video card do you have? If you don't mind, press "~" during the game to see additional information and attach a screenshot.

Hey there, I'm dealing with the same issue and have AMD hardware, rx 6600 xt and ryzen 5 5600X.

Is this the latest version of the game? Thanks! I will try to find out the reason as soon as possible!

Yup, it's the latest one.

Yes, I was in a hurry and uploaded the wrong build. Check the latest version, it should say v 0.13 in the main menu.

RX 6700 XT W/ Ryzen 7 5800x 8-Core Processor.

I uploaded a new build, but I'm not sure if that solved the problem. I need more information.

Fixed!
