Preparation matters
Weapons, equipment and resources are selected before deployment. The decisions made in safety shape the risks taken in the field.

THE PREMISE
Go in prepared. Get out with what matters.
EXFIL PROTOCOL is an early tactical extraction prototype exploring a loop of loadout planning, mission deployment, contract objectives, survival and extraction. Its design asks one simple question: what makes choosing to enter a dangerous zone compelling?
DESIGN PILLARS
Risk has a cost
Progression and item persistence are being explored to make extraction meaningful and failed operations consequential.
A living operations loop
A forward operating base, squad deployment ideas and AI opponents form the basis of ongoing systems experimentation.
DEVELOPMENT SCOPE
BUILT TO BE
EXPLORED.
An experimental extraction-shooter project exploring the risk/reward of loadouts, contracts, squad deployment, and consequences of failed raids.
EXFIL PROTOCOL is experimental prototype/mod work, not an announced standalone commercial product. Some experiments use existing game-engine ecosystems and third-party technology subject to their licenses. Artwork is conceptual, not captured gameplay.
