Pilgrim: Descent Protocol

Race the mothership. Light the relays. Live the night.

The mothership is falling. With Sola in your visor, you’ve got one shot! Cross the dark to three relay sites, feed them plasma cores, and cut the descent. Scavenge BitCredits, fuel, oxygen, and ammo in abandoned sectors. Claim outposts to restock. Ride a hungry hoverbike, choose your fights with roaming Crawlers, and make every minute count.

How it plays

• Hunt ruined zones for plasma cores, fuel, oxygen, and ammo.

• Stabilize cores (they decay in-hand) and stash them in containers to recharge.

• Traverse fast on your hoverbike, burn fuel, dodge patrols, and follow Sola’s bearings (no map hand-holding).

• Deliver five powered cores to each distant relay before the global countdown hits zero.

Difficulty Modes

• EASY - No descent timer. Explore and experiment at your pace.

• HARD - Descent timer enabled. The clock is always ticking; fail if it hits zero.

Features

• Tactical survival with health / oxygen / stamina management

• Core loop: find → stabilize → deliver plasma cores to relays

• Fast traversal on a fuel-hungry hoverbike

• Claim outposts to restock ammo and spend BitCredits

• Guidance from Sola 

• Enemy pressure from roaming Crawlers + a relentless global timer (Hard Mode)

• Sola: Dynamic Dialogue (optional, local-only) - toggle on at startup to let Sola answer questions and provide guidance. Off by default.

Low-light environments, time pressure, and arachnid-like enemies.
