The Protagonist

THE PROTAGONIST

A haunting descent into memory, silence, and the frozen remains of a broken world.

In the silence of a dead Earth, where darkness is both your greatest enemy and your only companion, The Protagonist offers a narrative-driven psychological horror experience set 635 years after the sun’s collapse.

You play as Varon Orimir, a shattered soul following a mysterious radio signal through the caverns of an underground world — a voice that echoes the memory of the daughter he thought lost.

Gameplay & Mechanics

• An unforgettable emotional story
  Immerse yourself in a tale of grief, guilt, and the desperate longing for redemption — told through fragmented memories, symbolic spaces, and chilling voice-overs. Every step leads you closer to a painful truth… or a comforting lie.

• Exploration.
  The game focuses on exploration in a surreal and ever-changing world.

Story & Themes

Centuries after the sun’s collapse — an event remembered as Stillwake — Earth has become a frozen wasteland. The last remnants of humanity survive deep underground, fractured by their own religious beliefs and isolated from one another.

You are Varon Orimir, a former NOVA pilgrim haunted by an unspeakable past.
When a mysterious voice on the radio speaks with the words of your missing daughter, you descend into a world where loneliness, darkness, and the fragile remnants of hope are your only companions.
