Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly scripted campaign may find the procedurally generated mission structure too variable

Our take on Fish Stick Protocol
The game trades focused, predictable missions for variable cooperative runs shaped by procedural worlds and disruptive anomalies. Its progression also extends into hub management, artifact displays, machines, and cosmetics, so players seeking action without between-mission activities may find the structure less direct.
What is Fish Stick Protocol?
Fish Stick Protocol supports online cooperative expeditions with as many as 8 participants.
Groups travel through procedurally created dimensions filled with hostile creatures and unpredictable anomalies, recover artifacts, and escape via the portal. Missions reward coordination, including staying close and bringing incapacitated teammates back into action. Returned artifacts go on display in a manor, and Approval points open further rooms. A permanent hub between journeys allows preparation, artifact sales, consumable purchases, and machine upgrades. Painting showers allow color mixing, while clout points can be exchanged for cosmetic items. Hub expansion adds practical areas, and expeditions may alter players by making them giant, airborne, ablaze, or stone-like.
