SableSyn Protocol

SableSyn Protocol combines a sci-fi visual novel with turn-based spaceship battles on an 8-by-5 grid. You command your half of the battlefield, manage upgrades and limited resources, and make tactical choices as you progress through the story.

Story

You are part of a military escort crew tasked with protecting convoys and keeping supply routes safe from pirate attacks. The attacks become precise and coordinated rather than random, and the conflict escalates as the truth emerges. What first appears to be a pirate threat turns out to be something far more malicious, leading to a conspiracy that could put a sinister intelligence in control of the known universe.

Tactical battles

Combat takes place on a compact battlefield where every unit is within attack range. Positioning, timing and resource management are central to each fast-paced, decisive encounter; the battles are designed without filler or grinding.

Each unit starts with one of four core roles:

• Attacker
• Sniper
• Warship
• Medic

You customize units’ abilities, movement and equipment, shaping them around firepower, defense or a balance of both. Abilities use Energy and Charge. Stronger ones can hit multiple targets, break enemy formations or deal massive damage, so each action requires you to weigh its cost against the benefit.
