About
In 2043, humanity was "reset" by the artificial intelligence KUT-ANA. You are not heroes rebuilding the world, but disposable test subjects trapped inside a ruthless simulation. Descend into abandoned facilities, scavenge valuable loot, survive deadly anomalies, and escape before it’s too late in this online co-op extraction horror experience.

KUT-ANA watches your every move. Every piece of loot you collect and every sound you make increases the danger level. The longer your team stays inside, the deadlier the simulation becomes. Choose carefully when to extract.

The monsters lurking in the darkness are former Operators. Hide from them, distract them, or hunt them down to harvest mutant hearts for profit. But fighting back comes with a cost. Aggressive actions rapidly escalate the map’s threat level.

When the algorithms collapse, reality itself begins to fail. Physics distort, environments become unstable, and impossible anomalies appear without warning. Adapt to unpredictable system failures where no mission ever feels completely safe.

Spend your hard-earned money [BUDGET] to purchase upgrades from your merciless [PERFECT] overseer. Unlock better equipment, improve survival chances, and prepare for increasingly dangerous expeditions. If you die, your consciousness is simply transferred into a new Operator body.

Para quem deseja um jogo rápido e divertido com os amigos, essa é a escolha perfeita. Jogo bonito, mecânica tranquila de entender e está bem feito
Me and my friends enjoyed V.A.U.L.T Protocol a lot! Streamed it on Mr Porkchops Youtube 2 times so far and I streamed it one time myself on my DodgeMasterSama channel. (It's definitely in our list of games to come back to!) Overall I personally feel the gameplay is well balanced and we have had some really good hours in it! The anomalies added to the loot runs creates a new level of fun and adds another level of challenge. It also makes it stick out well from other loot games. I enjoy the monsters in the game. Again, many of them makes me laugh, especially the cat with the knife! The anglerfish and the weeping angel can throw themselves somewhere where the sun don't shine lol! Even if the developers nurfed the anglerfish for us, it's still scary af. Good and fun items to buy for fighting and leveling up. Some good cosmetics, though I'm a little confused when you get new ones or if you get new ones? I definitely want more. Also the humor added to the game had us laughing a lot! If you play the game please look at the trashcan on the computer! The graphics is overall really nice and coherent in the game! I love the little movie load-in sequence you get to see with the spaceship landing. I'm looking forward to the future updates that is planned on the roadmap! One thing I would love to see is a base re-vamp since the base is looking rather dull. It's just a bit too simple at the moment! adding some unlockables in the computer for the base could be a fun addition? Or just upgrade it please - I do love me a good looking base to chill out in a bit between runs haha!

I got lost in the bunker, some little bastard latched onto my face, i was subjected to sexual violence by a huge turtle, while all this was happening i picked up extreme hot potato from the ground and it burned me. Pure chaos 10/10 Btw who thought of adding an extreme hot potato to this game????
Vault Protocol: A Masterclass in Tactical Tension Vault Protocol isn’t just a game about breaking into secure locations; it’s a high-stakes puzzle of risk, reward, and split-second decision-making. In a flooded market of strategy and stealth games, it manages to carve out its own niche by making you feel less like a superhuman action hero and more like a calculating mastermind operating on the razor’s edge of failure. The Gameplay Loop: Plan, Execute, Adapt At its core, Vault Protocol is divided into two distinct phases: the planning stage and the execution. During planning, you are given fragmented blueprints, guard patrol routes, and a limited budget to equip your crew. This phase is incredibly satisfying. It rewards meticulous attention to detail and creative problem-solving. However, the real magic happens during execution. No plan survives contact with the enemy, and Vault Protocol ensures this by throwing dynamic variables your way—a guard changing their route, a security camera glitching, or a newly installed laser grid. When the alarms inevitably start blaring, the game shifts from a slow-burn strategy title into a pulse-pounding scramble for survival. Atmosphere and Sound Design Visually, the game nails the sleek, oppressive aesthetic of a hyper-corporate dystopia. The environments are cold, sterile, and heavily fortified, making the neon glow of your hacking tools stand out beautifully against the monochrome vaults. But the true star of the presentation is the audio design. The soundtrack is a masterclass in building tension. It starts as a low, throbbing synth beat during your stealth approaches and aggressively ramps up into frantic, industrial techno the moment you are compromised. Every hacked terminal, deactivated camera, and footsteps echoing in the halls feels incredibly tactile. The Learning Curve If there is one criticism to level against Vault Protocol, it is the steep learning curve. The game does not hold your hand. Failing a mission often means losing valuable operatives and resources, which can feel punishing in the early hours. However, this friction is exactly what makes pulling off a flawless heist so exhilarating. Every victory feels earned. The Verdict 8.5 / 10 Vault Protocol is a tense, deeply rewarding experience for players who love to plan, adapt, and outsmart complex systems. While its unforgiving difficulty might deter casual players, strategy enthusiasts and stealth fans will find a gripping, highly replayable game that constantly tests their wits. Pros: Deep, rewarding planning mechanics. Phenomenal dynamic soundtrack. Incredible tension when things go wrong. Cons: Punishing progression system for newcomers. Minor UI clutter during late-game hacks.
So its not like the game is bad or anything its a cheap repo if im honest , There lies amazing potential for the game with some few add on's like levels enemies ect cause at the moment its limited to 3 levels with random seeds a handful of items which become redundent after the 30th run no point in stacking Hp and Stam if the Angler is going to one shot you around conrners anyway also if you in it for the achievements Dont Buy they arent linked to the steam tracker and having glitches obtaining them
are they ever going to fix this game???
Lots of potential for a great game here, but the servers are kinda busted right now. Tried playing with 3 friends and everyone got disconnected at one point or another, with no way to re-join without losing all our progress. Along with those issues, there's no way to adjust each players' voice volume, which is kind of a must in games like this. Maybe hold off for some updates before purchasing.
Received via LurkIt and it was a blast playing with friends. This is good for anyone who loves R.E.P.O., Lethal Company, Content Warning, or any similar games to it. Be warn the anomalies are random and some are good, some will test friendships.
me and the boys were looting and everything was perfect until that red light guy showed up :))
Had a really good time playing this with friends. The atmosphere is great and the co-op makes everything way more fun (and chaotic). Definitely has a lot of potential, looking forward to seeing where the devs take it! ♡ ⋆。˚❀♡ ⋆。 ˚❀
