The Ghost Protocol: Echoes of Steel

[Closed Alpha] Currently in invite-only alpha testing. Build reflects early development — features, visuals, and balance will change before release. ABOUT THIS GAME THE WAR NEVER ENDED. IT JUST CHANGED BATTLEFIELDS. For the last 30 years, humanity has waged a brutal war across the stars against the Husks. You are Cipher—a legendary Commander returning from a grueling 5-year tour on the front lines. You were supposed to be going home. Instead, your transport ship has been ripped out of hyperspace and dragged down to the Primal Fringe—a graveyard planet where the geology itself is alive, hostile, and hungry. Now, stranded with a squad of broken survivors and a Commanding Officer, Sully, who knows more about this planet than he’s admitting, you must do the one thing you were trained to do: Survive. BECOME THE LEGEND You aren't just a pilot; you are an anomaly. During the war, you earned the callsign "Cipher" for doing the impossible: Parallel Syncing—connecting your mind to multiple Mechs simultaneously to save your squad. It is a power that makes you a god on the battlefield, but on the Primal Fringe, that connection is a two-way street. KEY FEATURES - TACTICAL MECH WARFARE: Command your squad in Turn-Based battles against the Crystalline Swarm. Flank enemies, suppress choke points, and utilize the unique strengths of your team—from Flux’s innovative mind to Kira’s lethal precision. - THE ICARUS DRIFT: Your greatest weapon is your greatest threat. Push your neural link to the limit to enhance your combat abilities, precision, actions, and movement speed. But beware: the longer you stay synced, the deeper you fall into the "Drift." Lose yourself to the machine logic, and you may never come back. - UNCOVER THE GHOST PROTOCOL: Why did the ship crash? What is the Mastermind hunting? And why does the planet seem to know your tech? Unravel a deep, character-driven story where your choices determine who survives—and what remains of their humanity. - PILOT FORGOTTEN TECH: When modern digital tech fails against the Drift, you must turn to the past. Scavenge and restore the "Analog Vanguard"—a rust-bucket Mk. 0 Mech with no AI and no neural link. It’s heavy, it’s manual, and it’s the only thing the enemy can't predict. - A NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER The Ghost Protocol: Echoes of Steel is being built by a single developer.
