THRESHOLD PROTOCOL

Something happened to the GENESIS program. Nobody knows what survived.

Threshold Protocol is a sci-fi horror survival experience built around investigation, exploration, hostile anomalies, abandoned facilities, research, and escalating threats.

You are part of an HDS response operation sent to investigate a terraforming colony that went silent.

What begins as a recovery mission quickly becomes something much worse.

THE COLONY IS NOT EMPTY

Erebus-3 is home to many threats.

Creatures stalk, observe, retreat, hunt, manipulate the environment, and react to the actions of you and your team.

Some encounters are obvious.

Others may have been watching you for much longer than you realize.

THE BLOOM

An invasive biological organism is spreading along the surface.

The Bloom expands its territory, consumes its environment, creates underground colonies, develops specialized organs, infects wildlife, and becomes increasingly dangerous as it matures.

Ignore it for too long, and you may find you and your base becoming part of the Bloom.

INVESTIGATE GENESIS

Discover abandoned GENESIS facilities, damaged infrastructure, research sites, strange environmental changes, recovered equipment, and evidence left behind by the colony.

Use HDS technology to explore and understand what happened.

But information is rarely complete — and not everything you recover should be trusted.

SURVIVE THE ANOMALIES

Threshold Protocol contains multiple horror systems and entities with their own behaviors and rules.

Threats can include:

• Stalking entities
• Environmental disturbances
• Power failures
• Dimensional rifts
• Hostile biological growth
• Infected creatures
• Rare major horror encounters
• Threats that react differently to darkness, light, observation, and player behavior

The goal is not to fill the world with constantly attacking monsters.

The goal is to make sure you earn your safety.

BUILD. RESEARCH. PREPARE.

As you recover technology and establish yourself on GENESIS, you can gain access to HDS and GENESIS equipment, laboratories, research systems, specialized tools, weapons, protective equipment, power systems, and other technology.

Your base can eventually become more than somewhere to sleep.

It can become the center of your operation.

And a target.

MADE FOR MULTIPLAYER HORROR

Threshold Protocol is designed with multiplayer in mind.

Explore with a team. Split up to investigate. Build an operating base. Respond to emergencies. Watch each other's backs.

Sometimes having more people around makes you safer... Depending on who you're with.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENT

Threshold Protocol is under active development.

New creatures, encounters, research systems, environments, facilities, equipment, lore, balance changes, and optimizations will continue to be added as development progresses.

Bug reports and feedback are extremely valuable, especially from multiplayer sessions.

Make landfall. Establish contact. Investigate the colony.

Do not assume you are safe.
