The Artifact Protocol Free Download
Game Overview
The Artifact Protocol is a psychological horror experience where every artifact holds the final moments of someone’s life and you’re forced to live through them for “research”. You play as Anthony, a wrongly imprisoned ex-soldier, promised freedom if he can survive a classified testing program. One by one, you’re sent into the memories of the dead, reconstructed through five haunting artifacts. Each trial traps you in a different nightmare. But something’s wrong. The further you go, the less you’re sure whose memories you’re inside, your own… or theirs.
