About the Game

Scavenge Protocol is a multiplayer co-op horror game where you land on alien worlds, infiltrate high-risk facilities, and strip them of valuable scrap. Convert your haul into energy, gamble that energy on highly questionable upgrades, and try to make it back to orbit alive.

The goal is simple:

  • Land.

  • Loot.

  • Panic.

  • Leave.

Unfortunately, the local wildlife strongly disagrees with this plan.

Explore procedurally generated complexes filled with lethal traps, terrifying monsters, and life choices you will immediately regret. Work together to survive, or abandon your friends the exact second something starts screaming in the dark. Every expedition is different, every shadow wants you dead, and every teammate suddenly becomes an Olympic sprinter when things go wrong.

Procedurally Generated Facilities

  • Infinite Layouts: Every run generates a completely new facility grid.

  • No Map, No Help: Even we don't know where the exit is. Good luck.

Hazardous Alien Planets

  • Themed Environments: Different planets house vastly different facility types.

  • Unique Vibes: Because getting hunted in an industrial factory hits entirely differently than getting chased through the Backrooms.

Horrifying Entities

  • Unpredictable AI: Every monster hunts with completely distinct behavior.

  • The Mimic Effect: Some creatures can disguise themselves or sound like safety.

  • Visual Triggers: Some monsters attack if you look at them; others attack if you break eye contact.

  • The Unknown: And some are just plain weird.

The Energy Economy

  • Scrap to Power: Melt down your collected junk into raw energy.

  • Fuel the Ship: Keep the lights on and your life support running.

  • Upgrade Equipment: Buy better gear to survive deeper dives.

  • Waste It All: Spend it on something completely stupid. Your choice.

Gambling 🎰🤑📈

  • You can also gamble away your entire teams global GLOBAL SYSTEM 

Advanced Movement System

  • Run. Dash. Slide. Panic.

  • ...sometimes in that exact order.

The Company does not value your survival. Happy hunting.
