Choices *really* matter in Contact Protocol, a starship job simulator from @coldzephyrgames.bsky.social and @kineticpub.bsky.social
Image with some screenshots of video game Contact Protocol, text reads

Release: 2027, time management, story rich, choices matter

As security officer aboard a corporate vessel, it's up to you to determine whether approaching ships can pass by verifying their information with the company's. 
But it's not all cut and dry: people can and will lie about their intentions, and all the while, your company and your fellow employees are breathing down your neck.

These folks know hit to do an expo display. When you query a ship, the thermal printer off to the side spits out a little note with the details Also - big red button FTW. EGX winner.
A very cluttered desk.
The monitor shows the main menu of the game, “Contacy Protocol”.
The keyboard is an IBM model M
Red Swingline stapler
Thermal printer
The desk is strewn with post-its, dirty mug, stationary.

Your Quartermaster, Nigel. He's got an eye for the detail, and another eye simply because he was born with it, and having two eyes is in accordance with company guidelines. 👁️ DO YOUR PAPERWORK or you'll have Nigel requisitioning down your neck #gamedev #indiedev #scifi #steam
