Our take on Salvage Protocol
The store emphasis on destruction, salvage, and debt repayment can make the game sound like a broader collection-and-upgrade experience. Its stated structure is narrower: a single-player horror game built around five handcrafted station locations.
What is Salvage Protocol?
In this solo horror game, players enter deserted space stations to gather valuable parts.
They smash furnishings, collect scrap, evade hazards, and battle creatures hiding inside. Traversal involves crawling through vents, scaling precarious structures, and restoring outdated machinery to reveal further routes. Every station is a handcrafted maze where danger can appear without warning. Earned credits fund equipment improvements and new tools. The game features five handcrafted areas, hostile monsters and traps, breakable objects, and an outstanding debt to the S. R. P. O. corporation that drives the mission.
How Salvage Protocol plays
- 01Destructible environments
- Objects throughout the stations can be broken apart while searching for valuable components and scrap.
- 02Maze-like stations
- Five handcrafted locations use vents, unstable structures, and reactivated machines to create routes through each station.
- 03Tools and upgrades
- Credits recovered during salvage can purchase equipment improvements and new tools.
- 04Horror encounters
- Hidden monsters and environmental traps create hazards during station exploration.
