About

You’re not solving the mystery... you’re reliving it!

The Artifact Protocol is a first-person psychological horror game where every artifact traps you in the final moments of someone else’s life. You play as Anthony, an imprisoned ex-soldier forced into a classified testing program, promised freedom if you can survive. One by one, you’re sent into reconstructed memories of the dead, each trial a different nightmare.

But the deeper you go, the less you’re sure if you’re living their memories… or your own.

What To Expect

  • Five Nightmares In One: Each artifact is a standalone nightmare with its own setting, monster, and psychological theme.

  • Deep Environmental Storytelling: Learn each victim’s story through living it... 

  • Adaptive Monster AI: No two encounters feel the same. Each creature learns, reacts, and hunts in its own terrifying way.

Replay Value Beyond the Main Story

Completing the main story unlocks new layers of horror:

  • Nightmare Mode: A brutal one-life challenge with a new "Observer" and exclusive narrative voice lines that reveal hidden lore.

  • Multiple Challenge Gamemodes: Extra challenge trials that push your survival skills even further.

THEMES & TONE

This isn’t about cheap jumpscares. The Artifact Protocol is built on dread, loss, and fractured identity... horror that lingers long after you’ve shut the game down.

The Artifact Protocol is designed as an intense horror experience you can survive in one sitting, with new modes and hidden story layers waiting to pull you back...
