OUTAGE PROTOCOL

Outage Protocol is an exhilarating pixel art sci-fi side scroller puzzle that thrusts you into the circuits and gears of a newly awakened robot. Trapped in a sprawling, maze-like facility filled with intricate corridors, stairways, and elevators, your mission is to break free.

As you navigate through the complex, you will encounter the dreaded security gates that activate upon sensing your metallic frame. These gates fry your delicate circuits and doom your escape plans, making each step a calculated risk. With the help of the mysterious hacker, exactly 10 of these gates have been disabled. Just enough, to give you a fighting chance to find freedom.

Memorize the facility map, make use of the disabled security gates, and avoid the active ones marked in red. Every step you take could be your last, so stay alert and move quickly.
