About the Game

Protean Rings is a top down squad stealth strategy heist sandbox. Command specialists to infiltrate with disguises and intel. Run solo/synced plays to bend guards, civilians, and systems into an opening to rescue, kidnap, kill, or embarrass a target—or steal, sabotage, or plant it. Extract cleanly.

Command multiple professional operatives, study patrol patterns, gather intel, and position your team before you commit.

Choose how to break through enemy defenses using each operative’s unique abilities and tools to create distractions, isolate enemies, coordinate actions, manipulate environmental opportunities, and open a path to the objective.

Improvise and recover when plans go wrong.

Missions are designed around multiple valid solutions and replayability. You can stay quiet and methodical, split your team to solve problems from different angles, or take a louder approach and deal with the consequences as guards investigate, search, and escalate.

Complete the objective, adapt under pressure, and extract your team safely.
