Escape: Omega Protocol — A Field Guide to Six Sealed Rooms

An independent Omega story

This puzzle adventure shares the Omega facility, HERMES and the Blackout team with U.F.O. You do not need to play U.F.O first. Inspect the research journal, restore devices and reach the surface. This is a solo game: sharing sends the public game link, not a live cooperative room.

Four devices unlock a fifth

Every room contains five mechanisms. Solve the first four in any order to unlock the fifth, then explicitly advance to the next sector. The journal supplies the clues. A detailed hint is available inside each unsolved device; repeated use counts once per device and never blocks progress.

Six rooms, thirty mechanisms

Quarantine introduces number, word, direction and symbol locks followed by a key. Afterimage uses hidden objects, UV, a lens, mirror writing and a rotated shadow. Power combines circuits, laser mirrors, weight, sliding tiles and shape placement.

Communications includes Morse, sequence memory, tuning, a retryable twenty-second wire puzzle and a clock. Archive includes a simulated terminal, document order, arithmetic, role matching and a chain of tools. Observatory ends with a secret passage, four-direction observation, device disassembly, a projectile and the final choice.

Controls and saves

Portrait touch play supports taps, swipe and a shared virtual stick. Drag interactions also support selecting an item and tapping its destination. A gamepad navigates with the stick or D-pad, confirms with A and closes with B. LB/RB turn the room. Text-entry puzzles still require a keyboard or the on-screen keyboard.

Progress saves locally without signing in. Sign in with GameNow to upload the current run or explicitly load an account save. Importing an account save replaces the current device run after confirmation. Sound clues also appear visually, so every puzzle works muted.

Two successful endings

Transmit the records to the rescue team for the rescue ending, or leave with the memory chip for the archive ending. Both escape successfully. Completion time and hint count can be shared without exposing account or save tokens.

The game uses shared GameNow input, audio and analytics. Kenney CC0 furniture joins the shared asset library; the credits list the model and audio sources.
