Observation Protocol

Observation Protocol is a first-person psychological horror game in which you work a shift monitoring a liminal office facility scheduled to be permanently closed. The facility exists outside normal space and was discovered and monitored by an organization. You watch camera feeds for discrepancies and photograph what you find.

Remote monitoring

You begin at an external monitoring post. When the power cuts and the equipment goes dark, protocol requires you to enter the facility. You are issued a camera, and the wall ahead phases out to let you pass through; there is no door. Inside, you explore the same offices and corridors you had been watching on the feeds, but you are not alone.

On site

You have until 6 AM to photograph every discrepancy you encounter and return through the entrance before the organization closes the passage. If you stay past 6, you are trapped inside when it closes. Each single-player session lasts about thirty minutes from start to finish, with no mid-shift saves or checkpoints.

Presentation

The game uses a PSX aesthetic and is played from a first-person perspective.
