About the Game

What is White Room Protocol?

In White Room Protocol, you step into the mind of Jesse, who participates in an experimental memory-erasure program. Starting from a sterile white room, you follow him into his deepest and most disturbing memory. But will Jesse be able to erase that terrifying moment from his past by simulating it again in the protocol?

ATMOSPHERE-FOCUSED HORROR

White Room Protocol not only scares you; it constantly keeps your mind under pressure. The growing tension with every step gradually destroys your sense of safety. Details hidden in dark corners and unexpected sounds carve the story piece by piece into your mind.

ENVIRONMENTAL STORYTELLING

Instead of long dialogues, discover the story through the objects around you, the arrangement of the environment, and the atmosphere. Hair-raising sounds, distorted television images, and environmental changes let you complete the story in your own mind.

HIDDEN PUZZLES

Puzzles are solved with objects hidden in different corners of the house. Notes, old items, or small, inconspicuous signs reveal the key to progress when pieced together correctly. Careful observation and logical connections uncover the dark secrets of the past.

UNENDING THREAT

The danger is not only in the dark… it’s behind you. Silent corridors echo with sudden footsteps. Sometimes you see only a shadow; other times you feel a presence close enough to hear your own breath.
