Unravel a thrilling sci-fi mystery in this action-packed twin-stick roguelite shooter. Select your load-out, stack up temporary and persistent upgrades, and delve into the depths of a sinister, shifting, subterranean base in the midst of an interdimensional crisis.

As an Agent of the S2P Corporation, it’s up to you to investigate an ongoing incident at the most secretive facility of a company whose whole thing is keeping secrets.

CONSPIRACIES TO UNCOVER

As an S2P employee, Urgency starts with U!

When an Omega-level containment breach puts an off-the-books company black-site on lockdown, it’s up to a small team of randomly selected expendable peons to get to the bottom of it. Literally.

Step into the shoes of Agents Red, Boy Scout, Beaker, and Scalpel as they fight to unearth the buried secrets of Section 13… and solve a few personal mysteries of their own.

Ocean Drive Studio is thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of Section 13 on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation in early 2025. 

Originally known as Blackout Protocol during its Early Access phase, the game has undergone a significant transformation based on invaluable player feedback.

Once a co-op strategic roguelite shooter, Section 13 now delivers a thrilling solo experience with a compelling narrative at its core.

Players are invited to head toward the game Steam page to try the brand new demo live today!

CUTTING-EDGE TOOLS TO MASTER

Every job has its perks – and S2P is no exception!

Add some spice to every run with unlockable (and customizable) weapons, gameplay-altering Synaptic Enhancements, and of course, recreational genetic modification. (Side effects may apply).

Between deaths, you’ll also unlock persistent upgrades that change how you play and radically alter your chances of success.

TENSE TWIN-STICK ACTION IN THE WEIRDEST WORKPLACE EVER

As a Tier-1 paranormal containment facility, Section 13 is full of unique hazards, and it's up to you to overcome them with quick wits and reflexes.

Utilize special abilities, persistent upgrades, and dozens of unique weapons to outsmart pissed-off cryptids, navigate a series of shifting levels, and push deeper into the base with every attempt.

But be warned: As you brave the dark to battle horrors unknown, you’ll also have to manage your Fear level... or suffer a debilitating mid-mission panic attack.

Management recommends mindful breathing and soothing affirmations.
