A psychological horror game where every artifact traps you in the final moments of someone’s life. Face five distinct nightmares, each with its own monster, story, and theme. You’re not solving the mystery… you’re reliving it.

The Artifact Protocol is a first-person psychological horror game where every artifact traps you in the final moments of someone else’s life. You play as Anthony, an imprisoned ex-soldier forced into a classified testing program, promised freedom if you can survive. One by one, you’re sent into reconstructed memories of the dead, each trial a different nightmare.But the deeper you go, the less you’re sure if you’re living their memories… or your own.
This isn't no ordinary horror... this is not a safe dream, it’s a trap built from tortured minds. Most who enter never return, even veteran horror fans have failed to survive even the first artifact... can you?


Completing the main story unlocks new layers of horror:

This isn’t about cheap jumpscares. The Artifact Protocol is built on dread, loss, and fractured identity... horror that lingers long after you’ve shut the game down.
The Artifact Protocol is designed as an intense horror experience you can survive in one sitting, with new modes and hidden story layers waiting to pull you back...
