LOCKDOWN Protocol
- 16players
- Under 30 min
- PC
A first-person social deduction game: employees race to finish tasks in a sealed facility while hidden dissidents sabotage and pick them off.
Who can play
- No split-screen on any platform.
- Online for up to 16 players on PC.
- Each player online needs their own copy.
How it plays
Unlike most deduction games, the action happens in real time and in first person: you carry parts between rooms, watch who follows you and decide whether to trust the person holding a knife.
Voice chat carries the lies and accusations.
It works best with a talkative group of friends in a private lobby, each with their own copy on PC.
