Tenebris Protocol

Machinations on a global scale

Everything is emergent. People go to work, travel, start families, discuss politics. Interest groups, economies, and whole nations are born from the individuals which compose them.

Out of view, you build your influence, decide outcomes, and shape the evolution of all.

This arena is beyond human limits. Even shadowy councils are servants to the concepts which act through them. You are one such concept, and you will see planet and species both embody your will.

A different kind of strategy

Your influence does not lie in individual actions, but in convergences and statistical effects. A puppet is merely one vessel to your designs, and a torn glove is quickly exchanged for another.

Dominance is ebb and flow. That which stands unchallenged now will soon undo itself by its very prominence. Victory is creating conditions which sustain that which creates them.

Like clay in your hands

The world itself is yours to claim. What will you make of it?

The game

Tenebris Protocol is grand strategy on a new scale. Everything is driven through deep simulation, and society itself flows from the ground up. The tools placed at your disposal are not designed, but discovered — statistical analysis over the emergent state surfaces the levers at your disposal.

Genre conventions have long been that the simulation is designed around scripted narrative. You will see narrative take shape in the simulation instead.

In pre-production.
