About This Game

You’re not solving the mystery... you’re reliving it!

The Artifact Protocol is a psychological horror experience where every artifact holds the final moments of someone’s life and you’re forced to live through them for "research".

You play as Anthony, a wrongly imprisoned ex-soldier, promised freedom if he can survive a classified testing program. One by one, you're sent into the memories of the dead, reconstructed through five haunting artifacts. Each trial traps you in a different nightmare.

But something's wrong. The further you go, the less you’re sure whose memories you’re inside, your own... or theirs.

FEATURES

Five Unique Artifact Trials: Each with their own location, monster, story and psychological theme.
Deep Environmental Storytelling: Learn each victim’s story through living it... not just cutscenes or voice overs.
Adaptive Monster AI: Each Monster reacts/works differently in every trial.
Multiple Gamemodes: (Unlocked after game completion)
Nightmare Mode: Features a new "Observer" and exclusive narrative voice lines, revealing hidden story layers unlocked after completing the main game.

THEMES & TONE

The Artifact Protocol focuses on dread, loss, and identity. Expect creeping fear, emotional weight, and lingering questions long after you shut the game down.

This game is a truly hidden gem! It's like having five different, unique horror games in one. The story is amazing, is permanently keeps you on your toes. The game is not easy, you'll get trapped and stuck and you'll die, but it has something that makes you want to progress, to find out more, and not in an annoying way. The game runs sooo smoothie, I didn't encounter any bugs in almost 6 hours of gameplay. I honestly recommend it, this game deserves way, way more attention!
