About the Game

Blackout Protocol is a systems-driven sci-fi survival prototype where you must restore power, stabilise a damaged spacecraft, and bring critical ship systems back online before time runs out.

Restore the Ship

Start with minimal emergency power and bring the ship back online step by step. View the spacecraft from a top-down 3D view while interacting with ship devices, control panels, alerts, and camera feeds.

Use In-World Ship Interfaces

You are aboard a damaged vessel drifting towards danger. The ship is dark, unstable, and running on limited emergency power. To survive, you must inspect ship systems, restore power flow, activate key devices, and bring the vessel back under control before it is too late. The layout is designed to make the ship’s systems readable while keeping the experience focused on restoring power and stabilising the vessel.

Manage Limited Power

Every active system matters. Lights, consoles, batteries, generators, and ship systems all affect the power state, so careless use can slow recovery or leave critical systems unavailable.

Explore a Modular Sci-Fi Vessel

The ship is hand crafted with a mostly intuitive layout where players will need to explore and learn about the different devices and systems on board.

Included Content

Blackout Protocol currently includes one focused emergency recovery scenario designed for a short play session, usually around 5–20 minutes depending on player skill and experience.  You will die.....
