## Description

SABOTEUR: THE PROTOCOL<br>&quot;End of the night, Lazarus. Dawn&#39;s here. Clearing the logs.&quot;<br>You are Dawn. A saboteur. Tonight, you run the Protocol.<br>Lazarus is the most powerful financial company on Earth. Buried deep in their systems are the debt records of millions of ordinary people — loans, balances, chains. Your mission is simple and absolute: wipe them. All of them.<br>This is not a shooter. This is not a brawler. Saboteur: The Protocol is a dark, atmospheric puzzle game built on one core principle: nothing is random. Everything leaves a trace.<br><br>THE GAME<br>Infiltrate four layers of Lazarus security using nothing but your eyes, your mind, and a notebook full of observations. Every clue is hidden in the environment. Every puzzle rewards careful thinking over trial and error. You are not here to guess — you are here to deduce.<br>Dawn&#39;s Notebook tracks everything you discover: wear patterns, behavioral traces, file contents, personnel details. The answer is always there. You just have to look.<br><br>LEVEL 1 — RESIDUAL ACCESS<br>The data annex. A locked safe. A keypad worn by thousands of repetitions.<br>Three digits are heavily scratched. One barely touched. Someone typed this code every single day for years. Muscle memory doesn&#39;t lie — but the order matters. Think like them. Use what they left behind. Crack the safe, retrieve the keycard, and get through the door.<br><br>LEVEL 2 — CREDENTIAL DRIFT<br>The security corridor. A terminal. A power grid with too many breakers and only one right answer.<br>Log into the system. Explore the files. The wiring diagram is in there — if you know what to look for. Find which circuit controls the cameras. Cut it. Then move.<br>LEVEL 3 — PROTOCOL OVERRIDE<br>The operations center. Badge readers. Network nodes. A security architect named Dr. Sarah Chen who left more behind than she realized.<br>Clone a badge. Map a network. Layer by layer, dismantle what Lazarus calls protection. Social engineering, terminal commands, and one whiteboard diagram stand between you and the server room.<br><br>LEVEL 4 — THE PAYLOAD<br>The server room. The target rack. The end of the Protocol.<br>Log in. Clear the local logs. And then — a warning. The debt records sync to a second location. Unknown. Unreachable from here. Dawn plants a traffic sniffer, waits, and captures an encoded destination. Decode it. Purge it. Finish what you started.<br>But before you leave — plant the reverse shell. Because Tier 2 is still out there.<br><br>LEVEL 5 — HOME BASE<br>The setting shifts completely. You&#39;re no longer inside Lazarus. You&#39;re back in Dawn&#39;s bunker — his home base. The reverse shell you planted on the server at the end of Level 4 is still active, and now it&#39;s time to use it.<br>The twist: The archive-07 node turns out to be a honeypot. The moment you try to connect archive-07.lazarus.internal, your IP gets exposed. A pulsing red WARNING screen takes over: &quot;YOUR IP HAS BEEN EXPOSED — LAZARUS COUNTERMEASURES ACTIVE&quot;. Dawn reacts: &quot;Hack... it was a honeypot server. I need to wipe all the evidence.&quot;<br><br>The Final: remains a surprise.<br><br>FOR PLAYERS WHO LIKE<br>Obra Dinn. Tenet. Mr. Robot. Papers, Please. Games that trust you to think.<br>The Protocol is not over. It never was.<br><br>FEATURES<br>Atmospheric cartoon noir visual style<br>Slow-burn deduction puzzles with no brute-force solutions<br>Dawn&#39;s Notebook — a living log of every clue you find<br>Internal monologue from Dawn that reacts to your choices<br>Immersive terminal interface with real Unix-style commands<br>Ambient sound design: electrical hums, server noise, distant drips<br>A handcrafted narrative that rewards attention to detail
