Everything about Contact Protocol: story and gameplay

A structured look at the narrative, game feel, and traits that define this game.

Story & context

Investigate ships. Believe it or not, corporate records can be incomplete sometimes. You’ll have to open comms with incoming ships and make sure they’re really who they claim to be. Social deduction and file analysis had best be in your skillset. Make moral choices. Will you destroy unauthorised transport vessels? What if they’re carrying food or refugees? Is respect important to you or do you just want to do your job? Talk to your crew. There’s plenty of… interesting people to chat with onboard. For example, the unqualified wellbeing consultant, the cycloptic engineer, and of course, the ship cat - Ms. Jones. You’re all crew. Not like the miners you’re transporting. Fill out paperwork. Paperwork is vital in making sure GalCo operations run smoothly, so remember to fill out everything correctly. You do remember the company and callsign of that last ship, right? Oh and for God’s sake, don’t get the paper wet! Get to Ganymede. You’re heading to Ganymede, Jupiter’s biggest moon. Just do your job - get the ship there. If you mess up, it's back to the mines. Good luck. You’ll need it.
