Race back home before time runs out in this retro-style sci-fi 3D rail-shooter. Manage your speed, deploy your defenses, and fight off waves of enemies as you utilize the scrap from their ships to power your own.
The Twilight Hour Protocol
SteamThe Twilight Hour Protocol is a time-oriented, retro style 3D rail-shooter; the better you are at combat and maneuvering your ship, the more likely you are to make it home before time runs out. You are a mercenary pilot who has just awoken light-years from Earth after completing a mission you do not remember. Worse yet, your oxygen is running low and all allies seem to have abandoned you. Fight your way back home, protect your ship, manage your speed, and figure out what led you to such dire circumstances before you suffocate in the vacuum of space.

Fire the ship's primary cannons, obliterate enemies with the powerful phasic beams, or utilize the ship's thick hull to trade blows.

Collect the scrap from destroyed ships to power your own. You must decide what matters to you more: hull repairs or speed.

Time is of the essence and it does not stop ticking. Make every second count.

Your ship comes equipped with a robot assistant: your loyal companion, RA-d10. Take advantage of optional moments to speak with him and deepen your bond.
