Survival horror in space
The Callisto Protocol is a survival horror game set in a maximum-security prison on Jupiter's moon Callisto, created by the co-creator of Dead Space. As Jacob Lee, fight for survival when a mysterious outbreak transforms inmates into grotesque mutations. Master a visceral close-quarters combat system built around melee combos and strategic dodging, conserve precious ammunition, and navigate the claustrophobic corridors of Black Iron Prison. With its photorealistic graphics, bone-crunching gore system, and relentless tension, The Callisto Protocol delivers a brutally intense horror experience.
