Cognizant Protocol

Cognizant Protocol is a text-based adventure and exploration game about Aldis Farrell, an AI scientist trapped in an emergency pod beneath a crashed space station on an unknown planet. To escape, he must wirelessly install his mind into robots on the planet and retrieve his body.

Explore the planet

You uncover the story and make decisions through a retro-style command-line interface. At times, you take manual control of the robots as they cross hostile environments, encounter bizarre life forms and face merciless creatures. You can avoid danger with Espy’s swift movement or fight for survival with Excav’s laser.

Shape the outcome

Your decisions can lead to multiple endings. Even a seemingly small choice can have significant consequences.
