The Cloudvale Protocol

A utopian, but failing vessel that promises a bright future for all. A boy, stranded and in need of protection. In the middle? You, with the power to decide what happens next. But when saving one means sacrificing the other, what kind of future will you choose? Inspired by Tabletop Roleplaying games, The Cloudvale Protocol uses Protocols, Clocks and Quests to immerse you in a world where you have the power decide what and whom to protect. Each cycle you get a hand of protocols to apply throughout the ark. Decide which treasures of a long-gone advanced civilization are worth preserving, help the stranded boy survive the harsh conditions of a collapsing vessel and uncover what happened to the ark. Protocols are the commands through which you act on the world. Every hand you draw forces you to choose between urgent needs and long-term goals. It also raises the risk of collapse in the current sector and moves the clocks forward. EvEvery time you draw protocols, time pushes forward across the Ark. Systems break down, priorities shift, and valuable options open or expire. And somewhere, out of your sight, darkness spreads with each tick of the clock. Find the truth about the Corruption eating the vessel from within while helping the boy survive and get back home. Understand the ark and learn about its makers to find your own answer to the question: 'if you found a utopia, what would you do with it?'
