About the Game

No one is going to help you in this unknown planet.
Could you save yourself?
What are the odds for installing your mind into cold steel robots?

Those answers are somewhere in Cognizant Protocol. Cognizant Protocol puts you into the struggle of Aldis Farrell, an AI scientist who is unable to free himself. Trapped inside an emergency pod, he is buried under crash landed space station. Breaking out of the pod is impossible unless he can install his mind wirelessly into the robots somewhere in this new planet then retrieve his body.

Discover your mind inside the hard steel and explore the unknown planet. Meet bizarre life forms; survive through hostile environments and merciless creatures. Avoid the danger with Espy’s swift movement and fight for your survival with Excav’s laser.


Men are not prisoners of fate, but prisoners of their own minds – Franklin D. Roosevelt
