ZOO PROTOCOL ☠️ is a story-driven co-op sci-fi horror game for 1–5 players, where you and your crew maintain an isolated energy-production facility on a long-forgotten planet.
You awaken from cryosleep inside an abandoned space industrial complex, where the system mistakes you for one of its employees and refuses to let you leave.
Explore the facility, uncover hidden rooms, and read the documents and logs left behind by the previous crew.
Find out what really happened here and discover a way to escape before it’s too late.
Work inside the complex is not a single task, but an entire system of interconnected processes.




One problem leads to the next, and routine work quickly turns into a fight for survival. But the more efficiently your team performs, the deeper you advance into the complex.
Gradually, it becomes clear that you are not maintaining a simple power system, but a machine whose true purpose is far more vile than it first appeared.
FEATURES
Co-op for up to 5 players
Distribute responsibilities, coordinate your actions, and keep the complex from collapsing into a chain reaction of failures.
Story through progression
Earn resources, unlock new opportunities, and reach sealed-off areas of the complex, where the true nature of what is happening is hidden.
Care for anomalous creatures
Each entity requires monitoring, feeding, and strict compliance with containment conditions. Violating protocol leads to horrifying consequences.
Analog system control
Monitor the complex, stabilize key indicators, and deal with breakdowns and emergencies through outdated panels, switches, and equipment.
Escalating pressure
Energy shortages, contamination, containment breaches, and staff mistakes gradually turn each shift into a catastrophe.
