Archivist: Protocol Zero

About this game

Archivist: Protocol Zero

macOS version planned.

Vampire Survivors meets the Soviet Secret Archives.

Tonight, Protocol Zero has been activated in the depths of the Special Vault. Classified documents have come to life and are desperate to break free. As the only duty archivist, you must hold the line until dawn. Armed with nothing but retro-tech and bureaucrat’s grit, ensure that not a single secret leaves these walls.

Key Features:

  • A Unique Setting: Battle through endless rows of marble columns and dust-covered shelves in a giant underground archive styled after Stalinist Neoclassicism.

  • The Bureaucracy Bites Back: Face off against an army of living documents. From swarms of Crumpled Paper Balls with angry faces to tank-like Ledgers on legs made of rolled pages.

  • A Librarian’s Arsenal: Burn away heresy with the Logos Projector, clear the halls with the Loudspeaker's sonic waves, or use the legendary Sickle and Hammer as orbital protection.

  • Deep Progression: Collect library catalog cards (XP) to unlock new weapons and upgrades. Survive for 30 minutes as the chaos escalates, culminating in a showdown with the terrifying Censor boss.

  • Aesthetic of Absurdity: Immerse yourself in a world of Soviet Constructivism, retro-futurism, and dark bureaucratic humor.

Silence in the Hall!
