Survival sci-fi game "The Callisto Protocol" is a gory, linear storytelling experience that rivals the atmosphere and tension building of beloved horror films.
Directed by Glen Schofield, co-creator of the "Dead Space" series, this spiritual successor is a passion project brought to life with the help of a sound and visuals team handpicked for their work on brutal, thrilling horror film classics like "Alien," "It," "Dawn of the Dead," Friday the 13th," hit TV show "The Walking Dead" and more.
The action starts with the crash landing of a spaceship co-piloted by protagonist Jacob Lee, who is rescued by local authorities on Jupiter's dead moon, Callisto, but immediately arrested for reasons unknown to the player. Now imprisoned in a maximum-security penitentiary, he meets and helps an equally mysterious fellow inmate also escape, who repays him with a compassion for a stranger that seems to not run out.
