Welcome soldier. You are experimental unit 0xD34D, a state-of-the-art combat robot. Your objective is simple: kill. Your existence? A simulation. The scientists observing you need data on the ultimate combatant. You will provide it.

Every time you fall in combat, you are instantly rebooted and redeployed. Every failure is a lesson. Every death, a step towards mastery.

Key Features

• Ruthless Die & Retry: Lethal combat where one hit ends you, but instant resurrection sends you right back in. Learn enemy patterns, memorize rooms, and perfect your route to clear everything in one perfect, violent flow.
• Frenetic Third-Person Action: Fast-paced, brutal gameplay from a third-person perspective. Aim, dodge, and use the environment to your advantage.
• Varied Arsenal: Pick up weapons from your destroyed foes. Pistols, shotguns, and rifle, use anything you can find to survive.
• Synthwave & Lab Aesthetic: A cold, high-tech laboratory environment, fueled by a pulsing synthwave soundtrack inspired by Hotline Miami.

About the Game Jam

This game was created for the "Here we go again" Epic Game Jam. The theme was a perfect fit for the core of die & retry: that mix of frustration and exhilaration from starting over, again and again, until you achieve perfection. Protocol: Reboot is our interpretation of that concept.

Heads up! You might run into some Fatal Errors from time to time.
